"Stupid, Stupid Game"; Arnal Gets a Bustout on the River
Heads-up on a flop of A♣4♦5♥, Jack Arnal bet 4,500 from early position and an opponent on the button raised to 15,000. Arnal then moved all in, and his opponent called for 90,000.
All-In Player: A♠5♦
Jack Arnal: A♦Q♦
Arnal showed top pair, but the at-risk player had flopped two pair to take the lead. The turn was the 7♣, but the Q♣ river gave Arnal aces and queens to win the pot.
"Stupid game. Stupid, stupid game," the button repeated as he headed to the exit. Arnal, meanwhile, moved up to around 250,000.
