Who's Laughing Now?

We pick up the action on the turn in a heads-up pot over on the Funny Table.

The board showed {8-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, and there were about 3,000 chips already in the pot. Brad Garrett led out with a bet of 2,000, and Aaron Wilt took a long pause to consider his options. After about two minutes, he moved all in for ~12,000, and Garrett quickly said, "I'll call you."

Wilt tabled {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and simultaneously asked, "You have a straight?" Garrett affirmed Wilt's suspicions and tabled {6-Spades} {7-Spades}. The all-in player was asking for a board pair while Garrett was begging, "Don't do it. Please. Come on, give me a ten. Give me a ten." The dealer obliged him and spiked the {10-Spades} down on the turn, locking up the pot and the knockout for Garrett.

He's back up to about 36,000 now.
