Manuel Fritz opened to 200,000 from early position, leaving himself 50,000 behind. Action folded to Tom Vogelsang, who moved all in, which prompted Fritz to toss his last chips into the middle.

Manuel Fritz: K?K? All in
Tom Vogelsang: J?8?

Fritz looked set for the double-up, but the A?9?J? flop spelled some danger, as his opponent flopped a pair of jacks with backdoor straight possibilities.

The 7? turn brought in the draw, and sure enough the 10? rolled off on the river to give Vogelsang the jack-high straight and send Fritz to the rail.
