Dunbar Picks Up Aces Two Hands in a Row
Mark Dunbar raised to 65,000 on the button before the small blind shoved for 310,000. Dunbar called to put him at risk.
All-In Player: K♦J♦
Mark Dunbar: A♣A♠
Dunbar's opponent picked up several outs on the 8♦J♠9♦ flop with top pair and a flush draw but bricked the Q♠ turn and 9♣ river. "Thanks a lot. You couldn't put a diamond," he lamented while Dunbar raked in the pot.
Dunbar was still stacking his chips from this hand when Douglas Houghton raised to 75,000 in early position, then Dunbar three-bet to 200,000 in the cutoff.
Houghton called and both players checked the Q♥7♥10♥ flop. The turn came the 3♦ and Houghton pushed all in for around 400,000.
Dunbar snap-called and flipped over A♥A♣ yet again. Houghton had J♥J♠ and, while he made a flush on the 9♥ river, Dunbar's ace was the nut flush as he eliminated his second opponent in a row.
Another tablemate came over to rub Dunbar's stomach for good luck as he stacked up more than 2,000,000.
