Dreyfuss Coolered and Eliminated (E#11-D3)

Robert Dreyfuss was one of four players remaining in the PokerAtlas Tour Title Event but he was about to find himself coolered and dominated.

Four-handed play seemed to be going on-and-on for a while. Joe Firova limped in from the small blind on blinds of 200,000/400,000/400,000. Robert Dreyfuss was in the big blind and checked his option.

Firova and Dreyfuss went heads up to the well-connected flop of T♥9♥8♦ and both players connected. Firova with second pair and a gutshot; Dreyfuss flopped the jack-high straight. Action ensued.

Firova led out for 500,000. Dreyfuss raised to 1,600,000. Firova didn't take too long before going all in for 4,900,000 and of course Dreyfuss snap called.

Firova: Q♦9♠
Dreyfuss: J♦7♥
Flop: T♥9♥8♦ 

Firova drilled the J♠ turn to make a queen-high straight. Dreyfuss was drawing to a chop that didn't come with the 2♠ river.

Firova: 11,900,000
Dreyfuss: 10,700,000

Six hands later, with the blinds increased to 300,000/500,000/500,000, Dreyfuss went all in from the button for 6,700,000. Rohit Jain was in the small blind with K♦J♣. Jain made the call and Michael Begham folded the big blind.

Dreyfuss was about to see the bad news. He was dominated.

Dreyfuss: Q♣J♦
Jain: K♦J♣
Board: J♠8♠8♥4♥6♣

The flop and runout would've played itself as the board brought a jack with a pair of eights. Dreyfuss couldn't find a queen to stay alive and he was eliminated in fourth place for $78,260.

Jain: 29,550,000
Dreyfuss: 0
