Randy Ohel:
The monotone flop most benefitted Ohel, who was the only one holding a spade. The flush completed on the turn, and Marius-Co exited the tournament after the meaningless river.
"Good game," Ohel told Marius-Co.
Andy Frankenberger, also at the table, joined Ohel to provide analysis to PokerNews after the hand.
"I think it threw him off when I asked for a count," said Ohel. "I told him 'I called with a good hand. I wish it was a really good hand.'"
"His opponent said 'I also have a good hand,'" added Frankenberger. "I think Randy read into that. I figured he was begging for a call with ace-king."

| Andy Frankenberger | 116,000 | -112,000 |
