Robert Bolte (Richboro, PA)

Looking over the way of Table 46, David Gordon would be standing up with just a look of shock on his face.  Gordon had just got it in pre with Robert Bolte for a pot worth 405,000, with both players holding the same hand:

Bolte: A♣ K♣
Gordon: A♥ K♦

Flop: 6♣ 6♦ 9♦
Turn: 5♣
River: 9♣

On the flop it seemed as if Gordon had the only chance of winning the hand, but when Bolte turned clubs, he'd be free rolling the hand.  The river club is what put the look we witnessed on Gordon's face, as he just lost 75% of his stack.  Bolte would chip up to 405,000 with the pot, while Gordon dropped down to 102,000.

It would be the next hand that would then end the day for Gordon, as he once again battled versus Robert Bolte, blind v. blind.  Bolte's A♠ K♣ > 5♠ 5♣ of Gordon, and David would go from 80 big blinds to out of the tournament.
