Hooper Wins Flip
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Albert Aurelien opened 2,500 in middle position and the action folded to Donald Hooper in the big blind who announced all-in. Aurelien wasted no time calling off his stack of about 38,000, and both hands were turned on their backs.
Albert Aurelien: 9?9?
Donald Hooper: A?K?
It was a classic race as the 7?6?2? flop hit the felt. Aurelien was still in the lead with his pair of nines, but the A? turn left him drawing thin. The 10? river changed nothing, sending Aurelien out.
