Event 4: Al's Aces Flushed

$500 +$60 No Limit Hold'em     

Chris Chatman (Stone Ridge, VA) opened for 6k, then Al Riccobono (Ossining, NY) moved in for 30k.  The player on Al's left flat-called, then Chris re-shoved for another 54,400.  After a few minutes in the tank, the caller called again.

When the hands were tabled, Al was way ahead with pocket Aces. Chris held AK offsuit and the third player had AQ offsuit.

The board ran out 8 7 3 9 T -- with four hearts -- and the only player holding a heart was Chris, who had the Ace.

Al pounded the table and headed for the exit.  He finished in 40th place, just four from the money.

With that pot, Chris chipped up to over 200k and possibly the chip lead.


*** 1:00 am update:  Chris Chatman busted out in 30th place ($888).
