Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Eric Pfenning raised to 1,200,000 from the button, leaving a single green 25,000-denomination chip behind. David Prociak, the small blind, reraised to 2,250,000. David Simon folded, and the cards were turned over after Pfenning tossed in his final chip.
Eric Pfenning: A?6?
David Prociak: K?Q?
"We're ahead, baby!" laughed Pfenning to his rail. The flop came K?Q?5?, instantly giving Prociak two pair. The 2? turn meant that Pfenning was drawing dead, and the harmless 10? hit the river to send Pfenning to the rail.
Pfenning's third-place finish results in his highest-ever cash at over $180,000.
