From the Penthouse to the Outhouse
Not long ago Aaron Olshan was sitting on a big stack of 140,000. He is now out of the tournament. We're not sure what happened to crippled Olshan, but we were there to catch his final hand.
It happened when Sonny Rattan opened for 21,000 to, according to him, "pick up the blinds." Instead, Olshan ended up calling off his last 17,000 from the button. The blinds both folded and the cards were turned up.
Olshan:
Rattan:
The flop was interesting it that it gave Rattan top pair with a gutshot straight draw, but it also provided Olshan an open-ended straight draw.
"Don't give me two pair," Rattan told the dealer knowing full well a would give Olshan a straight. The dealer listened and instead put out the on the turn to give Rattan the straight. Olshan could chop with a ten on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the peeled off.
