Weinberg Wins It With Rockets

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After getting it all-in with the shorter stack of Alati Richard, Max Weinberg proudly tabled his {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and waited for the dealer to do him justice. Richard held the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and needed some help to stay alive in the tournament.

The dealer revealed a board of {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Weinberg's pocket rockets held up, eliminating Richard from the field and padding Weinberg's chip stack in the process.
