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: 
Under-the-gun: 
Hijack: 
The 
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 
turn eliminated the hijack from the tournament, and the 
river secured the chunky double for Fenzke.
