The Ole Suck, Re-suck, Re-re-suck

Speaking of aces getting cracked...

Terrance Chan raises from the small blind, and Jean-Claude Perrot reraises all in from the big for a total of 90,000 chips. Before he has a chance to blink, Chan beats him into the pot with {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}. Perrot sheepishly tables {J-Hearts} {10-Spades}, all in and trailing.

Lightning strikes though, when the flop comes {6-Spades} {10-Hearts} {J-Spades}. Perrot makes his two pair and jumps into the lead. It didn't last long though.

The dealer runs off the {6-Clubs} on the turn, making Chan a bigger two pair and putting Perrot on the brink of extinction. It wasn't over yet though. The dealer burns and turns the last card...

{J-Diamonds}

Coming from behind for the second time in the same hand, Perrot makes his full house and steals the pot from Chan's grasp. With the win, he and Chan virtually trade places. Perrot sits with 180,000, while Chan is down to 85,000.
