Gargiulo Sends Aalvik Home

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Davis Aalvik raised to 900 from under the gun and he was called by Orito Kazuyuki in middle position and Cyril Attali in the small blind. In the big blind, Joseph "Joey" Gargiulo moved all in for 79,900 and Aalvik went into the tank. He debated his decision for a little bit before calling for his last 19,000 and everyone else folded.

Davis Aalvik: KK All in
Joseph Gargiulo: AA

The flop rolled out 9JQ, prompting a response from Gargiulo.

"It's never easy, my god," said Gargiulo as the A peeled off on the turn "Oh at least I got my ace. Make it a black deuce on the river."

A 3 peeled off on the river, keeping Gargiulo's set of aces in the lead while Aalvik exited the tournament.

"That's my poker nightmare right there," table-mate Chris Moneymaker said. "Level 1, I've got kings, and somebody forces me all in."
