Der Megreditchian Spikes an Ace to Leave Pitzanti on Fumes
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jacques Der Megreditchian moved all in for 85,000 under the gun and Sandro Pitzanti called in early position, having Der Megreditchian barely covered.
Jacques Der Megreditchian: A♣J♠ 
Sandro Pitzanti: 9♥9♠
Der Megreditchian hit top pair on the A♥7♣4♣ flop to take the lead, while he improved to two pair on the 7♠ turn and J♥ river to secure the double up and leave Pitzanti on an extreme short stack.
"Chip and a chair," a tablemate joked with Pitzanti after the hand.
