Mcgarry Slow Plays Aces and Gets It All
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Robert Mcgarry raised to 1,500 from early position and was called by a player in the cutoff. Then the player on the button three-bet to 8,500, and McGarry made the call. The cutoff folded to leave the two players heads up.
After the K?6?7? flop, Mcgarry checked, and the button bet out 6,500. Mcgarry then raised to 16,000, before the button three-bet all in for 26,500. McGarry quickly called to put his opponent at risk.
Button: Q?Q? 
Robert Mcgarry: A?A?
The button ran right into the aces of Mcgarry, and his pocket queens would need help for him to stay in the tournament. But after the 4? turn and J? river, the pocket aces of Mcgarry remained best to take the pot and eliminate his opponent.
