Aces Cracked
All the money was in the middle and the board read 5♦9♣7♦8♠7♣. Will Hall tabled A♠A♦, only to see Zocarlo Benologa flip over 6♠6♣ for a straight. Benologa was all in for 18,000, which left Hall with a bowl of rice and just 500 chips.
The very next hand, Hall limped under the gun and Zichuan Huang raised to 800, only to see four calls from David Fhima, Daniel Marin, Ryan Riess, and Brian Rovne. Hall also flipped in his last 300.
The flop came 3♠5♦A♠ and Brian Rovne moved all in for 23,000 from the big blind, and all other players folded.
Will Hall: A♦Q♣
Brian Rovne: K♠6♠
Hall was ahead and heading for a quintuple up! Unfortunately, the 8♠ came on the turn and gave Rovne a flush to send Hall packing and gave Rovne a bounty of $500. The irrelevant 2♠ fell on the river.
