Ross Busts One

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Mike Ross, who finished as the runner-up in Event #21: $1,500 8-Game Mix 6-Handed, sat down in Level 4 and has since steadily increased the stack.

With already more than two times the starting stack, Ross just tangled with a short stack, and the latter was all in with {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs} after a flop of {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Ross looked him up with {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and the {2-Spades} turn and {9-Diamonds} river gave him the better hand, as the two pair of his opponent were counterfeited.

"Did you actually lose a hand all day?" someone at the table asked, and Ross just grinned.
