Aces Cracked, Ionita Eliminated
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Gary Fisher raised to 4,000 from under the gun, meeting immediate resistance as Stefan Ionita, one seat to his left, three-bet to 9,500. The action folded back to Fisher, who made the call.
The dealer spread a 10♣8♦7♣ flop, and Fisher checked. Ionita continued for 6,000, which left Fisher questioning why his opponent hadn't yet just moved all in, with roughly 19,000 behind.
After the interrogation was over, Fisher moved all in, and Ionita called.
Stefan Ionita: A♠A♣ 
Gary Fisher: Q♥9♥
"That's what I thought you had", Fisher told Ionita.
There was immediate service for Fisher as the turn J♣ gave him a straight. The river 2♦ was unable to save Ionita, who headed to the exit.
