What Goes Up...
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Wow, quite the roller coaster for Jonathan Wein.
Moments after doubling up with his queen-five (the very next hand, in fact), Wein looked down at pocket aces and found some significant action. In fact, he got Charles Croft to five-bet shove for about 130,000. Wein had him slightly covered when he called, looking for a near-double up for the second consecutive hand.
Naturally, however, a third king drilled the flop to put Wein in a hole from which only two outs could save him. The turn and river brought a blank apiece though, and Wein's aces are cracked to cripple his stack. He's only got about 6,000 left now, about 270,000 chips less than he'd prefer.
