Andy Frankenberger (pictured) provided the details of this hand.

In a battle between two members of the WPT Champions Club, Andy Frankenberger raises from the small blind to 3,000, and Brandon Cantu calls from the big blind. The flop comes X KX 9X 5 with two clubs, Frankenberger checks, Cantu bets 8,000, and Frankenberger calls.

The turn card is a non-club X 3, Frankenberger checks, Cantu bets 24,000, and Frankenberger tanks for a while before he check-raises to 50,000. Cantu moves all in for about 45,000, and Frankenberger snap-calls with Heart KDiamond K for top set. Cantu turns over Club 4Club 2 for a club flush draw with an open-ended straight draw, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The river card is a non-club X 7, and Frankenberger wins the pot with his set of kings to eliminate Cantu from the tournament.

Andy Frankenberger  –  209,000  (131 bb)
