Ten, One Time

George Gauthier open-shoved his last 231,000 on the button, Yuval Bronshtein re-shoved from the small blind, and Antonio Garcia went into the tank from the big.

"Is it alright if I stand?" Garcia asked the dealer.

"Yes," the dealer told him. "Just don't leave the table."

Garcia eventually folded {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} face up, and Bronshtein and Gauthier tabled their hands.

Bronshtein{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Gauthier{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Before the dealer fanned the flop, Gauthier turned to the cameras, and waived to his kids. The flop was {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}, giving Bronshtein a pair of aces, and another ace turned - the {a-Hearts} - turned.

"How 'bout a ten, one time!" Gauthier told the dealer, not knowing he was drawing dead.

The {9-Spades} completed the board, and he was eliminated.
