Fenzke Wins a Monster

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player raised to 15,000 from under-the-gun, and Eric Fenzke, a tournament director at Players Casino in Ventura, California, three-bet to 100,000, leaving himself just 17,000 behind. A short-stacked player committed his last 18,500 in the hijack, and the under-the-gun player jammed to put Fenzke at risk. Fenzke quickly called.

Eric Fenzke: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Under-the-gun: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Hijack: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop was a pure action flop, as Fenzke had flopped the nuts with a draw to a Royal Flush, while the under-the-gun player was live with top set. The {9-Hearts} turn eliminated the hijack from the tournament, and the {5-Hearts} river secured the chunky double for Fenzke.
