We just had a monster pot go down here in the Seniors Event. The action started with Bruce Benedict moving all in for 95,000. Addison Alston made it 200,000 to go and Khaled Alwan called, curiously leaving himself with 2,000 behind. Papa Levy in the big blind announced that he was all in for 205,000 total. Alston and Alwan both made the call and we turned over four pocket pairs:

Bruce Benedict {Q-}{Q-}
Addison Alston {10-}{10-}
Khaled Alwan {J-}{J-}
Papa Levy {A-}{A-}

A crowd gathered around the table, the excitement in the air obvious. Would Levy's Aces be able to hold up against three pocket pairs?

The first card in the window was paint, but fortunately for Levy it was not a Jack or Queen - it was a King as the flop came {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

The turn was another safe card... the {3-Clubs} and when the river came {3-Hearts} Levy started with his trademark shout "SEND IT TO PAPA!" and yelled it at least ten times while half running around the room in excitement. Benedict was the shortest stack and finished in 8th place while Alwan finished in 7th.
