Harrill Cracks Aces

Jeremy Geist

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was a middle position open to 7,000. Action folded all the way to Gene Harrill in the big blind who defended and they were off to a flop. The flop landed 10?K?8? and Harrill checked. The player in middle position put out a bet. Harrill waited a moment and then raised. The middle position player quickly sent in the rest of his stack and Harrill called.

The cards hit their back.

Middle position: A?A?
Gene Harrill: 8?8?

The 5? turn and 10? river would give Harrill a boat and send his opponent to the rail before the money.
