Jimmy Fricke opened the pot with a raise, and Andrew Brown reraised saying, "I'll put you all in." Fricke made the call, and the hands were shown down:

Brown: {4-Spades} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts}
Fricke: {6-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds}, failing to help Fricke, and sending him out as the first elimination of our final table.

Fricke looked disappointed, but he will take home $21,135 for his three day effort.
