Event 17 (Day 2): Rothbard's Run Good Runs Out

Level 13 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)

Fred Jafarzadeh (Woodbridge, VA)

Michael Rothbard's roller coaster day has just ended in dramatic fashion as he was all-in and at risk pre:

Rothbard: K♥ Q♦
Jafarzadeh: A♦ K♥

Flop: 8♠ Q♥ 5♦
Turn: 2♣
River: A♥

It looked as if Michael was about to recoup the chips he lost moments ago to Jason Deutsch, as he flops a queen and has Fred Jafarzadeh in bad shape.  The turn would stay clean for Rothbard, but he'd be left with just a wry smile after the ace spiked the river, sending Michael away from the tournament area.
