Engel Cracks Crane's Aces
Three players limped the pot - Alan Engel in middle position, Casey Wassell in late position, and David Munce in cutoff. Alexander Crane decided to bet the pot of around 295,000 and got everyone to call except for Munce.
The three players saw the flop of 8♣2♣6♦. Engel declared pot, which effectively placed him all-in as he had only 640,000 chips remaining. Wassell folded. Crane mulled over his situation, however, as he had only around 600,000 behind and would be putting himself at risk if he called.
Looking frustrated, he called taking both of them to showdown.
Alexander Crane: A♣A♥J♥2♠ 
Alan Engel: 8♠7♦6♥5♣
Crane's pocket aces was beaten by Engel's flopped two pair. The turn 5♦ and the river 10♦ didn't help improve Crane's hand. Crane congratulated Engel's hand and left the table.
