Frankenberger Loses a Chunk

[user66118]

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Walking over near the middle tables, Wooyang Lin asked us how many chips the chip leader had. "About 170-180,000," we answered. From across the table, Andy Frankenberger piped up, "Well I have like 200,000 and I'm the chip leader." For the time being. But the chip leader was involved in a big pot as he spoke.

The board showed {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} when we joined the action, and there was about 20,000 in the pot. Frankenberger was first to act, leading out with a bet of 16,000. Kenny Hicks had 55,500 chips left, and he moved them all in as a response. Frankenberger called with his big stack, turning up {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for two-pair-turned-flush. That's good, but Hicks' {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} is better. The king-high flush earns Hicks his double up, and he's all the way up to 155,000 now. Frankenberger drops to 121,000, but both of them still trail Vanessa Selbst, now up to 210,000.
