Fielder Takes A Small Hit

Jeff Fielder has been picking up where he left off yesterday, accumulating chips throughout the first two levels. However, he just took a small hit that has knocked him back down to under 600,000. We came to the table as he was heads up with his opponent in a pot that had about 30,000. The flop had been dealt out {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, and his opponent bet out 17,000. Fielder elected to raise, making it 45,000 total. His opponent thought for about 20 seconds before announcing all in. It was a raise of 77,000 on top, and once he got a count, Fielder made the call

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Fielder: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Fielder would need to pair up or catch an eight to win the hand, and he wouldn't get it on the turn, the {k-Clubs}. The river also brought a blank, the {4-Hearts}, and the pot was shipped to his opponent. Fielder is still doing plenty fine, sitting at second in chips behind Joe Kuether by our counts.
