Suja Boy Tell 'Em

After preflop action saw Suja Juice co-founder Eric Ethans raise and get reraised by Robert Fein, Ethans called to see the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop with just about 200,000 in the middle. Fein open-shoved for a little over two times the pot, and that sent Ethans deep into the tank. Eventually, Ethans made the call with the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for top pair, but he was in a world of hurt against Fein's {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}.

Needing a miracle to pull this one out, Ethans picked up a straight draw when the {J-Clubs} hit the turn. It was still very much a long shot for Ethans to win, but he nailed the river when the {10-Clubs} rolled off. The crowd surrounding the table erupted when they saw what had happened, while Fein was left sitting motionless with his mouth agape.

"That was very lucky," said Rob Mariano to a group of onlookers. "I'm lucky, but that was very, very lucky!"

The tournament staff counted Ethans' stack and verified that he was all in for 433,000 on the flop. When they counted down Fein's stack, they revealed that he had the exact same amount, 433,000. With that, Fein was eliminated and Ethans shot to up over 1 million.
