Tough Start for Amaral
Amaral: (X) (X) / / (X)
Opponent: (X) (X) / / (X)
We're not quite sure what Chris Amaral did to put the fear of God in his opponent. We got to the table at the river, where Amaral's opponent checked his open aces to Amaral's open nines. Amaral's single bet took down the pot.
"Second pot," Amaral noted as he stacked the chips. He's down to about 20,000.
