Lhote Cracks Howe's Aces and Sends Him to the Rail

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Richard Howe and Joffrey Lhote had their cards face up on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and it was Howe who was at risk for roughly 26,000 chips.

Joffrey Lhote: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Richard Howe: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Howe started the hand with the best possible two hole cards, pocket aces, but he was going to need to catch up after Lhote had flopped top two pairs. The turn was the {10-Clubs} giving Howe a gutshot straight draw but the river was the {6-Spades} and he was eliminated.

Hote won two tournaments in a single day on PMU poker which earned him a $50,000 sponsorship for the year.
