Rice Picks Up Aces For a Bustout
Nível 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Shawn Rice raised to 40,000 in early position and a player on the button called. The big blind then three-bet to 430,000, leaving just around 50,000 behind, and Rice called. The button quickly folded.
The flop came 10♠9♣8♥ and Rice bet enough to put his opponent all in. The big blind looked up at the tournament clock and waited a minute before calling.
All-In Player: K♠Q♠ 
Shawn Rice: A♦A♥
Rice was ahead with his aces and the at-risk player couldn't catch up on the 2♣ turn and 4♥ river as he was sent to the rail in the closing moments of Day 4.
The button then admitted he folded two eights. "Once you called, I knew you had a big hand," he told Rice.
