Ervin Scores Amazing Double-Up With Quads over Quads
The players at Table 7 just alerted the PokerNews live reporting team to a massive hand that saw Chip Ervin double through Alejandro Armas in dramatic fashion.
As told by the players, on a flop of A?A?J?, Ervin got his last 23,000 in from the blinds against Armas in late position. The hand was already a cooler, but it would get much wilder.
Chip Ervin: A?9?8?2?
Alejandro Armas: J?J?9?3?
Ervin had flopped trip aces, but Armas held jacks full of aces. Ervin would have to make a better full house of quads if he was to take away the pot.
The J? came on the turn, giving Armas the quads instead, leaving Ervin now drawing to the A? to avoid elimination.
The dealer incredibly obliged, placing that A? on the river to keep Ervin in the game in incredible fashion.
