Brutal Bad Beat Sends Him Ott of Here
Andre Ott made it 160,000 under the gun, and Xiaohua Yang called from middle position. Hicham Aouraghe squeezed it to 500,000 from the hijack, and the action folded back around to Ott. Ott, who started the hand with just over two million, opted to four-bet to 1,160,000. Yang folded, and Aouraghe went into the tank.
After Aouraghe thought for quite some time, he five-bet ripped it with the covering stack. Ott instantly called.
Andre Ott: A♠A♣ 
Hicham Aouraghe: A♥Q♠
Upon seeing Ott's pocket aces, Aouraghe said, "I thought you had kings."
Just before the flop was dealt, Ott's neighbor said he had folded a queen, at which point the dealer burned a card and fanned a flop of Q♣Q♥5♣ to give Aouraghe trip queens, and left Ott needing an ace or running clubs to survive.
The 4♦ turn left Ott had one out, which didn't come as the 9♣ completed the board. Ott headed to the rail in disgust, and Aouraghe said, "Finally, I get lucky."
