Aronow's Prophecy Comes True

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The player under the gun limped, and two players in middle position limped before action Rich "Nash" Aronow decided to move all in for 15,200.

The player under the gun made the call, then the second limper also moved all in for 21,200. The third limper contemplated calling.

"You guys are making this sexy," he said. Eventually, though, he let it go.

The player under the gun called and the three were off to a runout.

Rich Aronow: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Middle Position: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Under the gun: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The under the gun player had the most chips, followed by middle position, followed be Aronow with the least.

"Give me two eights on the board," said Aronow.

Like magic, the flop came out {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} as the table let out cries of disbelief.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river the {2-Diamonds} to give Aronow the full triple, send the ace-queen home, and award the queens a small side pot.

"You're the worst player I've ever seen," said the player to Aronow's right, as the table laughed. "Take a pic everybody, this is him."
