Hand #58: George Rechnitzer Eliminated in 4th Place ($15,000)

George Rechnitzer is forced all in from the big blind for 20,000. Almira Skripchenko raises from the button to 150,000, and Dan Heimiller calls from the big blind, creating a main pot of 100,000, and a side pot of 260,000.

The flop comes [AsKs6h], Heimiller checks, Skripchenko moves all in, and Heimiller folds 10-10 face up. Skripchenko takes the side pot.

Rechnitzer shows [5s4c] for five high, and he’s in big trouble against Skripchenko’s [Ac9s] (pair of aces), needing runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn is the [Ah], the river is the [9h], and Almira Skripchenko wins the pot with a full house, aces full of nines. George Rechnitzer is eliminated in fourth place.
