Aces Hold For Orosco
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
A player in late position opened to 55,000 and action folded to the small blind who raised to 185,000. Joe Orosco in the big blind shoved all-in, covering the small blind. The late position player got out of the way before the small blind called and the cards were revealed.
Small Blind: K♦K♣Q♦7♣ 
Big Blind: A♣A♥9♥6♦
The board ran out J♠J♣5♦7♥8♥ for Orosco's aces to hold over his opponent's kings, and he scooped a nice pot to eliminate a player. Joe celebrated and asked to be referred to by the sobriquet "the drunk guy" in coverage of the hand.
