Aces vs Aces; Plante Brutally Busts Cheraghi Near the Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Only five eliminations away from the money, there was a huge hand brewing. Under the gun opened to 16,000. Hossein Cheraghi then three-bet from under the gun plus one to 32,000. Santiago Plante was in middle position and four-bet to 66,000.
Under the gun folded, Cheraghi shoved for 265,000 and Plante snap-called.
Hossein Cheraghi: A♣A♠ 
Santiago Plante: A♦A♥
Plante had Cheraghi covered by about 40,000 but it seemed to be a chop formality as black bullets ran into red rockets. The flop came 7♦10♦8♠. The turn was the 8♦ to make for a sweat and the river was the 5♦ to eliminate Cheraghi in the most brutal fashion and give Plante the huge pot.
