Retief's Aces Get Cracked
Hanre Retief was standing in line at the registration desk perhaps to jump last minute into the Main Event satellite which is on the add-on break right now.
"How bad was it," the live reporting team asked and Retief replied "very bad, you can't even write about it," he joked and then recalled the action while showing a picture of the cards and board.
According to Retief, he three-bet preflop and was called by Joggie Aucamp who then called a bet on the 8♥4♦2♥ flop before also looking up Retief's shove on the 6♠ turn.
Hanre Retief: A♦A♠ 
Joggie Aucamp: 9♣4♣
The river was the 4♠ for the sucker punch.
Aucamp was then spotted in action at the same table. He check-called bets of 5,000 by Mark Wright on the K♠J♠5♠A♣2♥ turn and river. Wright announced a king first and then flashed his K♦J♦ which was actually two pair. That beat the A♠8♦ of Aucamp.
"I stayed in for the spade," Aucamp mentioned.
