Aces Ain't What They Used to Be

Just before the break, Tony G was in the pole position in a three-way pot. Nobbi Tanaka raised all in preflop to 1,700 and was called by another player before the action even got to Tony. He looked down at {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} and moved all in himself for 5,250 total. A player behind him called all in for less, bringing the action back around to the first caller. As he contemplated his decision, Tony said, "Whatever you think I have, that's what I have." That statement folded the first caller, leaving the other three players to contest two pots.

Nobbi Tanaka: {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Tony G: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}
Third player: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Tony G's aces were outflopped {2-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {K-Hearts}. That left Tony looking for an ace or running cards. He got neither. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river fell {J-Spades}, making Tony's aces the third-best hand.

His chip count slipped to 2,300. Nobbi Tanaka was eliminated from the tournament.
