What is This? Online Poker?...Shane Stokes Eliminated in 12th ($17,736)

The craziest hand of the tournament just occurred. In the cutoff, Gary Leibovitz raised to 25,000 and Shane Stokes moved all in from the button for 105,000. Then in the small blind, Ravi Raghavan reraised all in for 125,000 total. Dustin Woolf folded his big blind and Gary Leibovitz called. The hands were:

Leibovitz: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Stokes: {K-Spades} {J-Spades}
Raghavan: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

The flop came {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and Leibovitz took the lead. The {9-Spades} turn kept it that way, but the river saw Raghavan let out a huge, "Oh my God!" as the {A-Clubs} hit! The crowd could not believe it and neither could the players. Dustin Woolf even said he folded the {A-Hearts}, to which Ravi Raghavan said proudly, "I hit one-outers baby!" as he collected his new stack of nearly 400,000.

Shane Stokes was eliminated in 12th place, while Gary Leibovitz slipped to 320,000.
