Loya's Stack Can Take a Crack of Aces
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
A kerfuffle around Table 485 signalled the cracking of aces by an underpair with a straight. The aces belonged to start of day big stack Thomas Loya, the underpair () to David Stonehouse, who'd moved all in preflop and found all the action he could want behind him.
The board ran out , a nine-high straight for Stonehouse. Fellow UK player Ali Zihni came over to inspect then congratulate.
"Ten bigs, what can I say?" said Stonehouse as he scooped in the pot.
