Brandon Paster

Ravi Shankar opened to 125,000 under the gun and Brandon Paster in middle position reraised to 475,000. Shankar four-bet to 1,525,000. Paster, covered, called for his tournament life.

Brandon Paster: AA876 All in
Ravi Shankar: AKQJ2

Paster was ahead with pocket aces but the flop dropped JKK giving Shankar a full house. Paster made an exclamation in frustration.

Adding insult to injury, the turn Q improve Shankar's hand to a better full house making the whole table chuckle. The dealer completed the board with an inconsequential 9, which sealed Paster's fate to leave the tournament floor.
