Joseph Aronesty Flips With Peter Lockwood
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Peter Lockwood raised to 40,000 from late position, and Joseph Aronesty moved all in from the small blind for 203,000. Lockwood asked for a count and eventually called.
"This is the hand," said Aronesty as he tabled 
. He was at risk against Lockwood's 
and said, "I figured you were up there, but I had to go with it."
It was a classic race, and Aronesty flopped the best of it after the dealer fanned a flop reading 
, pulling ahead with a pair of aces. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
, leaving Lockwood with just 65,000 chips.
