Ray LaRouech has started out as the most aggressive player on the felt today, but it hasn't exactly worked out.

First, he raised and c-bet {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, getting stationed up by Newton Graziano with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} after he made a pair. Then, he raise-called a Rick Block three-bet with the {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and chased a flush draw calling bets all the way to a checked-down river, only to be outkicked by Block's {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} on a {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts} board, losing almost 500,000 in the pot.

"That didn't really work out," he said.
