Ace on the River

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Aaron Schaff raised from the hijack to 14,500 only to have Dwyte Pilgrim come over with a bunch of chips in hand. He cut out 45,000 and threw in a raise. Tomer Aminpour, who was in the big blind, then asked the dealer if Pilgrim could bring out a big stack and cut out a bet, taking the remainder back. The dealer explained that it was a legal raise and Aminpour clearly disagreed with the rule. Regardless, he decided to move all in.

Schaff, who had sat quietly during the entire situation, snap-called while Pilgrim quickly folded. Schaff, who was the one all in for about 130,000, turned over {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and was far ahead of Aminpour's {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

The {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop didn't change anything and neither did the {2-Hearts} turn. Schaff just needed to dodge an ace on the river to double to over 300,000; instead, the {A-Hearts} spiked on the river! Schaff was eliminated from the 2011 PCA on a mean river suckout.
