The short stacks haven't been showing many signs of patience today. On Orange #6, Kyle Carlston opened the pot preflop for 18,000. Action folded to Peter Aiello, who moved all in for 52,000 total. Carlston made the call and found himself in a classic race situation

Carlston: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

Aiello:

Aiello survived the flop and turn when they came {8-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

to make a Broadway straight for Carlston. Aiello was eliminated on the hand, while Carlston climbed to a shade under 1,000,000 in chips.
