Frederick Vogt Eliminated in 97th Place ($62,061)

Frederick Vogt

Fred Vogt had a memorable conclusion to Day 5 last night, nursing a super short stack to make a significant pay jump and then last into today's sixth day of play. He started today wearing his leather cowboy hat and an American flag-themed tie — rich in style, but no so much in chips.

On the second hand he was all in from the big blind with {J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} against Roman Valerstein's {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and turn {7-Clubs}. "Doesn't look too promising," said Vogt with the same big smile he was wearing last night. The river then brought the {A-Clubs}, and Vogt wished his opponents good luck as he left for the cashier's desk.
