Alexander Fitzgerald Eliminated in Seventh Place (â¬171,000)
Apr 22, '09
Alexander Fitzgerald (pictured right) pushes all-in and William Reynolds calls. Fitzgerald shows A K and Reynolds shows pocket jacks. The board comes 10 6 2 8 2 and Reynolds wins 1,280,000. Fitzgerald is left with less than three big blinds.
The young American shoves in the very next hand for 135,000. Dragan Galic is next to act, both he and Ovidiu Balaj call. The flop is 10 3 2 and Galic bets 150,000 while staring at Balaj. Balaj looks him in the eye and after two minutes he folds showing his hand (which we don't have the privilege of seeing).
The cards are revealed:
Fitzgerald: K9X
Galic: J-10
The turn is the Q and the river is a brick. Galic's paired tens hold up and Fitzgerald leaves the tournament in seventh place for €171,000.
