Ciccarelli Makes Runner-Runner Boat to Crack Aces on Bubble
As the tournament prepared for hand-for-hand play, a player in middle position opened to 16,000 as John Ciccarelli called on the button before Collin Calloway bet 55,000 in the big blind with just 1,000 behind. The initial raiser folded and Ciccarelli called.
Calloway checked on the flop of K♠5♠8♣ and Ciccarelli bet 1,000 to put his opponent all in. Calloway went deep into the tank and eyed the tournament room before someone eventually called the clock. He let his 30 seconds run down and then slammed in his final chip.
Collin Calloway: A♥A♣ 
John Ciccarelli: 10♣8♦
Calloway's aces were ahead of his opponent's middle pair, but things quickly changed as the 10♦ turn gave Ciccarelli two pair and the 10♠ added insult to injury as he improved to a full house to put a cruel beat on Calloway, who was visibly frustrated after being eliminated just a few spots off the money.
