Aerts Pays $100,000 for a Single Hand

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Pieter Aerts
Pieter Aerts

Martin Kabrhel opened on the button with a stack of T-100,000 chips, enough to cover both blinds, who sat with starting stacks. Pieter Aerts, who had just taken his seat after max-late registering during the break, called off his entire 560,000 stack from the big blind.

Pieter Aerts: A9All in
Martin Kabrhel: 85

Although Aerts was ahead pre-flop, Kabrhel immediately picked up the lead as the dealer fanned the K48 flop.

Aerts' time in the tournament was over in just a single hand after seeing the 7 turn and 7 river complete the runout, and Kabrhel added more to his towering stack.

After standing from the table Kabrhel joked "You have a free afternoon now... you are supposed to say thank you."
