Gill Limps with Aces, Busts Vassilopoulos

Carter Gill during Day 2
Carter Gill during Day 2
Carter Gill limped in from early position. Action folded around to George Vassilopoulos, who declined his option to raise and went to the flop. It came down {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}. Vassilopoulos checked, then raised all in to 40,000 after Gill bet 10,000.

Gill and Vassilopoulos started talking with each other, with Gill probing for information. Vassilopoulos reminded Gill that it was a limped pot, and that he could have anything -- pocket fives, pocket threes, two pair, air, anything. This went on for a few minutes, with Gill agonizing over his decision. Finally he said that he was pretty sure Vassilopoulos had two pair but he was calling anyway.

Vassilopoulos: {4-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}
Gill: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

Gill's hand was in the lead, and he put a mortal lock on the hand by turning the {A-Spades} for a set of aces. Vassilopoulos made two pair with the river {4-Hearts} but by then it was too late for him. He's out.
