Swaringen Spikes Straight to Squash Squelch
Level 35
: 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Billy Swaringen and Ben Squelch got all of their chips into the middle, with the latter at risk of elimination.
Ben Squelch: J♣J♦
Billy Swaringen: A♥A♦
Squelch was in bad shape against Swaringen's aces, but the flop of J♥10♠Q♦ gave him a big lead with a set of jacks. However, the deck was not Squelch's friend as the runout came 5♣K♦ to give Swaringen a straight on the river to send him to the rail in brutal fashion.
