Event 7: Francis Torched by Joe

$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Level 11: Blinds 600/1,200/200 ante
78 Players Remaining, 66k avg (55 bb)

Daniel Francis returns from break second in chips, but suffers a huge blow to his stack.

On a board of 9h9s7s Francis is all in against Joe Torch.

Francis: AsKs (over cards, nut flush draw)
Torch: Js8s (gutshot straight draw, straight flush draw)

Turn: 10d (Torch, straight)

River: 6h

Francis can’t believe his better flush draw blocker doesn’t hold up as Torch wins with the Jack-high straight for a 78k double-up.

Francis is left with 60k and is on the wrong end of our Hard Rock, Hard Play of the Day.
