Van Blarcum Spikes Ace on River to Eliminate Opponent

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

The hijack player opened for 1,500 and was called by Blake Whittington from the cutoff, Aaron Van Blarcum from the small blind, along with the big blind player.

Van Blarcum checked the {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop to the big blind player who fired out 3,000. The initial raiser called getting a fold from Whittington while Van Blarcum raised to 12,000. The initial raiser jammed after the big blind player folded and was quickly called by Van Blarcum.

Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Aaron Van Blarcum: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Van Blarcum held the flush draw with an over but the {q-Diamonds} turn was no help.

The river however, fell the {a-Diamonds} pairing Van Blarcum and he eliminated his opponent.
