Dishongh Done

[user101598]

Gary Dishongh moved all in for his last 140,000, and was called by Randy Haddox near the button. The players in the blinds released, and it was race time!

Dishongh: {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}
Haddox: {a-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

"Lemme double," Dishongh pleaded. "You've got plenty of chips!"

Dishongh's hand did not hold when the board ran {9-Clubs} {k-Clubs} {j-Spades} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} , and he was eliminated in 19th place.

The remaining players are now redrawing to two tables.

Aron's Aces Cracked for 2M-Chip Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

[user101598]

Wowzers.

Robert Aron opened from middle position, Ben White three-bet to 128,000 from the blinds, and Aron four-bet to 255,000. White upped the ante even further, five-betting to 428,000, which sent Aron deep into the tank. After nearly two minutes, Anon moved all in.

"Pull the bets in," White asked the dealer.

Aron pushed all of his chips forward, the dealer pulled in 428,000, and counted out 588,000 chips behind.

"Call," White said instantly.

And just like that, 2 million chips were in the middle.

Aron: {a-Hearts} {a-Spades}
White: {q-Clubs} {q-Spades}

"I can't look," Aron said, turning to his friend and 2010 WSOP bracelet winner Jesse Rockowitz.

Unbeknownst to Aron, his aces were cracked when the flop fell {q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} . Rockowitz's face dropped, and he told Aron the terrible news. Aron turned just in time to see the turn and river brick {5-Spades} , {10-Clubs} , then collected his things and headed for the exit.

Even White looked disturbed by the results of the hand, but he, unlike Aron, is still alive, and leads the pack by nearly two million chips.
