Mcgarry Slow Plays Aces and Gets It All
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Robert Mcgarry raised to 1,500 from early position and was called by a player in the cutoff. Then the player on the button three-bet to 8,500, and McGarry made the call. The cutoff folded to leave the two players heads up.
After the K♠6♠7♦ flop, Mcgarry checked, and the button bet out 6,500. Mcgarry then raised to 16,000, before the button three-bet all in for 26,500. McGarry quickly called to put his opponent at risk.
Button: Q♥Q♠ 
Robert Mcgarry: A♣A♦
The button ran right into the aces of Mcgarry, and his pocket queens would need help for him to stay in the tournament. But after the 4♣ turn and J♠ river, the pocket aces of Mcgarry remained best to take the pot and eliminate his opponent.
