Ross Busts a Pair
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Mike Ross said he had just won two pots with aces and kings to climb up to around 50,000, and he opened under the gun to 1,700. A player called off for 1,500, and the small blind made it 4,500. Ross asked for a count and then moved all in for 17,000 or so more.
"I'll win this one, you win the next one," Ross said. "Figured I can't have a hand three times in a row, right?"

. The board ran out 
, sending the whole pot to Ross.
"When you're hot, you're hot," the busted small blind said.
