Hooper Wins Flip
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Albert Aurelien opened 2,500 in middle position and the action folded to Donald Hooper in the big blind who announced all-in. Aurelien wasted no time calling off his stack of about 38,000, and both hands were turned on their backs.
Albert Aurelien: 9♣9♥
Donald Hooper: A♠K♥
It was a classic race as the 7♣6♦2♥ flop hit the felt. Aurelien was still in the lead with his pair of nines, but the A♣ turn left him drawing thin. The 10♥ river changed nothing, sending Aurelien out.
