Split deuces must have looked like a monster to Tad Jurgens. With only two-and-a-half big bets in his stack, he had no choice but to raise after James Van Alstyne completed the bring-in. Van Alstyne called the raise, called a bet on fourth street, and then called Jurgen's all in on fifth street.
"Gimme an ace, right here!" Jurgens pleaded with the dealer on sixth street. But it was instead Van Alstyne who paired tens, giving Jurgens the river sweat. When Jurgens failed to improve, he was out in second place, banking $152,654 for the honor.
