Laird Runs Into Wallace's Aces

David Salituro

Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Scott Laird was all in from the big blind for around 500,000 and up against Richard Wallace under the gun.

Scott Laird: A♦Q♦
Richard Wallace: A♣A♥

Wallace hit the last ace in the deck on the A♠5♣7♣ flop to make top set and leave Laird already drawing dead.

The board ran out 4♣8♠ and Laird was eliminated.

"His name is Lucky," another tablemate said about Wallace.

"Not as lucky as the gentleman sitting over there," Wallace joked, pointing back at him.
