We watched Whitney Bell call a 3,000 bet from a lone opponent on a flop of 
. The turn brought a 
, and the aggressor moved all in. Bell called immediately.
Bell: 
Small blind: 
The small blind undoubtedly thought he liked the flop, but he saw the bad news as soon as he moved all in: Bell had flopped aces full, and only the last nine would change the outcome of the hand. The river was the 
though, and Bell busted his unfortunate opponent.
