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.
