Etheridge Gets a Knockout

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Preflop action had Brian Keith Ethridge raising to 80,000 and getting re-raised by Jonathan Borenstein's all-in for 550,000. Ethridge double checked his cards and called.

"I just had to make sure I had aces." Ethridge said laughing.

Brian Keith Ethridge: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Jonathan Borenstein: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The flop came down {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} giving Borenstein an open-ended straight draw. The {10-Hearts} on the turn and {q-Hearts} on the river didn't help him out any though and Ethridge took down the pot and knocked Borenstein out of the tournament.
