Fortunate Flop for Fortuno
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Robert Fortuno moved all in preflop for around 55,000 and was called by Maurice Thomas to put him at risk of elimination.
Robert Fortuno: A♥6♠
Maurice Thomas: J♣J♠
Thomas was ahead with his jacks, but the flop of 4♥6♦6♣ quickly put him in second place as Fortuno made trip sixes for a big lead.
Then of course came the last 6♥ to give him quads to leave Thomas stone dead while the river was a meaningless 8♦.
Fortuno was then pushed the pot for the double-up while Thomas was left with a starting stack.
