Ari "BodogAri" Engel Doubles Up

Eli Elezra opens the pot in middle position for 2,800, the button reraises to 8,800, and after about a minute in the tank, Ari "BodogAri" Engel comes over the top with all the 1,000 chips he can fit in his right hand. The dealer counts the raise as a total of 31,000. Elezra quickly mucks his hand, and the button immediately goes all in. Engel calls his remaining 8,000 and shows his {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} - more than a 2-to-1 underdog to the button's {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Fortunately for Ari, the flop brings an ace, and his pair wins a pot worth almost 90,000. We think this puts BodogAri in the top five in chips; check our chip counts section for updates coming soon.
