Croc Unlucky; Then Lucky; Then Unlucky Again

[user162117]

David Zhao opened with a min-raise to 8,000 before Billy Argyros three-bet to 23,000 on the button. Dave Wonson took some time before folding his big blind but Zhao wasted no time in announcing himself all in. With 57,000 behind, Argyros made the call and the cards were on their backs:

Zhao:

Argyros:

It was a coinflip with Arygros�� tournament on the line, and ��The Croc�� fell behind when the flop arrived {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} .

��Jack please,�� requested Argyros and the dealer obliged as the {j-Diamonds} appeared on the turn to give Argyros the two-outer as he was now in great shape to double up.

��Deuce please,�� said Arygros as he thought he��d try his luck once more but this time the poker Gods cruelly brought the {a-Clubs} to give Zhao a bigger full house to win the pot and eliminate Argyros from the tournament two spots off the money.
