"I'm getting ready for my long stint on commentary. I'm just waiting for my co-host here," Nick Eastwood said, standing by Aaron Barone's table watching the action.
Barone then moved all in from the small blind, and Aleksander Boski called for 80,000 in the big blind.
Aleksander Boski: K♣10♥
Aaron Barone: K♦5♠
Boski had Barone dominated heading tot he A♠9♠4♥ flop. The 3♦ turn gave Barone outs to a straight, but Boski's ten-kicker continued to play after the A♥ river to earn him the double up.
"Good news, I might be joining you," Barone said to Eastwood as he was left severely short-stacked.
"You lost?" Eastwood asked incredulously.
"I know, shocking," Barone added.
