Elizabeth Takes Big Hit When Aces Cracked

We arrived at the hand to see a raised flop of {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} being played out between Shannon Elizabeth and another player at her table.

Elizabeth checked the flop from the big blind and called when her opponent bet 1,000 from the button. When the {4-Spades} came on the turn, Elizabeth led out with a bet of 2,400 and was called by her opponent.

The river was the {7-Spades} and the button player moved all in before Elizabeth had a chance to act. She said she would make a bet equal to her opponent's stack and flipped up {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. When she saw her opponent's {a-Spades}{5-Spades}, she looked crushed, saying "I can't believe you were chasing the flush."

After the hand, Elizabeth was down to 9,000 chips.
