Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Horace Ingram
Horace Ingram

Horace Ingram moved all in for 30,000 under the gun and KJ Helton called on the button.

Horace Ingram: K♦Q♣ All in
KJ Helton: A♥A♣

Ingram had run right into Helton's aces, and the 9♦6♥7♦2♣7♥ board offered no help as he was sent to the rail.

At another table, Brad Johnson had raised to 25,000 on the button as action went back on David Short in middle position, who moved all in for his last 30,000. Johnson quickly called.

David Short: 10♠6♠ All in
Brad Johnson: J♥10♣

The board ran out K♣8♦8♣2♠5♣, and Johnson's jack-kicker continued to play to earn him the pot and send the former big stack to the rail.
