Brutal River Stuns Israel

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Erik Nordahl raised to 18,000, Jenny Israel three-bet to 55,000 and Nordahl called. On the {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Nordahl retook the betting lead and came out with a bet of 45,000. Israel called in position.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Nordahl shoved all in. Israel had 125,000 and took the better part of three minutes before flicking in a calling chip.

Jenny Israel: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Erik Nordahl: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

After folding pocket queens earlier, this time Israel went all the way with it and was in tremendous shape to double up. There was a brutal surprise waiting for her, though, as the dealer burned and turned the {10-Hearts} to give Nordahl a cruel winner.

Wide-eyed, Israel stared at the river while the "ooohs" echoed across the tournament room. She had to depart from the tournament in 23rd place and received �2,690.
