Pace Sends Squire to the Rail

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Action on the table folded to Kelleen O'Brien who opened for 2,400 from the cutoff. Eric Squire three-bet jammed for 8,300 on the button and Richard Pace jammed over the top from the small blind for 38,000. All players folded and the two were heads up.

Richard Pace: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Eric Squire: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Pace had Squire dominated, and took a commanding lead after the {4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop with no diamonds.

Both players paired their ace with the {a-Hearts} turn and Squire needed to pair his nine on the river to win the hand.

Unfortunately, the river fell the {3-Clubs}, and Squire exited the playing field.
