Grove Shows the Goods
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Dawn Lucarelli bet 20,000 from the cutoff on a flop of A♠J♣8♥ and John Hall called under the gun. Christopher Grove then raised to 60,000 in middle position, and only Hall called.
The turn was the 5♣ and Grove bet 35,000. Hall again called, and the 2♠ fell on the river. Grove then bet 80,000, and Hall snap-folded.
Grove showed A♦A♥ as he took the pot. "I had queens. What did you have?" Lucarelli asked Hall.
"I had ace crackers, is what I had," Hall replied.
