The River Saves Sully Erna

Sully Erna
Sully Erna
In Hand #13, the player on the button raised to 21,000 total and Sully Erna called in the small blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and after Erna checked the other player made a massive overbet of 60,000. Erna then check-raised all-in for about 22,000 more and his pot-stuck opponent made the call with {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Erna turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the set and the cameras and crowds pressed close as Erna would double up if he could avoid the other player's gutshot draw .

Which, of course, promptly hit in the person of the {J-Hearts}. Erna was livid, pacing around his chair in frustration as the cameras followed his every move...and then the {8-Clubs} arrived on the river to give Erna a full house and the pot.

"That's why I play poker!' Erna shouted as the pot was pushed his way.

Alfred Megrabyan shoved all in with J-J. He was called by a player with {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Alfred Megrabyan's Jacks held up and he survived on the bubble.

"Man, that takes a lot of balls," said one player from an adjacent table who admitted he folded A-A at least once over the last thirteen hands.

Tournament Director Jack Effel has asked the players several times that they remain in their seats after the hand at their table ends. Um, compliance has been non-existent. Every time there's an all-in hand players rush over from adjoining tables to join the crush of reporters and cameramen trying to catch the action.
