Hollis Stabler Eliminates Ted Forrest
Hollis Stabler had pocket queens, and when he reraised preflop, he accidentally used a 10,000 chip, which was much higher than he planned. Ted Forrest called, and after a flop of K-rag-rag, all of the money went in the pot. Stabler showed his queens, but Forrest had pocket aces.
Forrest was ahead, but Lady Luck was sitting with Stabler, as another queen showed up as his salvation on the river, cracking Forrest's aces. Forrest went home as Stabler took the early chip lead with about 100,000 in chips.
