Lopez Scoops with Aces; Rigby Fires Another Bullet

Kirk Brown

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After a preflop betting bonanza, Johnny Lopez, Nick Rigby, and another player got it all in the middle, with Rigby covering.

Player 1: J♦J♥ All in
Johnny Lopez: A♥A♠ All in
Nick Rigby: A♣Q♠

Lopez was a favorite to scoop the whole pot, and the runout of 8♥9♥6♣5♠6♥ was pure for him to score the triple-up.

Left short, Rigby exited soon after but has since re-entered the tournament to give it another go.
