Aces, Better Aces, and a Fight
Dmitry Nemirovsky and Ben Middleton were raising and reraising each other all in. Somehow Men Nguyen got involved in a shouting match with Middleton, and the floor had to come over to calm things down enough to continue the hand. "All right, let's see who has the real aces," Ryan D'Angelo said as they players turned up their hands. Turns out the both did.
Middleton:
Nemirovsky:
"I'll take the five-six of diamonds," said G0lfa, calling it.
The flop gave Middleton a gutshot, and the on the turn added five outs. Bink. The on the river filled his straight, and Middleton gave a fist pump. Nemirovsky couldn't believe his eyes. He paid out 105,000 to double Middleton, leaving himself with just 30,000 and a beat red bald head.
Nguyen went back to berating Middleton after the hand, though the Master kept repeating "I don't say anything."
"No, except to the dealers," Middleton shot back. That's when the floor stepped in and threatened both with a one-round penalty if either said another word that wasn't "bet, raise, or call."
