Dusty Leary of a Bigger Ace
Dusty Leary opened to 5,500, and the player next to him made the call. Apparently, there's some history there. "If I lose this hand against you too," the opponent said, "I'm not playing another one all night."
In any event, it was heads up to the flop, and Leary continued out with another 8,000 chips. His opponent called, and both men checked through the and turn and river.
"Ace!" the opponent piped up as he tabled . It was no good; Leary turned up and pointed to his kicker to take the pot. He's the chip leader, sitting pretty with about 235,000 now.
