Event 1: Aces Hold x 2

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Making a sweep of the Event Center we saw something that most players won't believe, if you listen to their complaints, as pocket aces hold on two different tables.

Russel Kaplan (Bellmore, NY) triples his 32k in a hand with aces vs kings vs queens.  The side pot goes to the player with kings, but he leaves the table so fast he's not even aware that he has 4k chips remaining.  The anonymous player's stack will be blinded off unless he returns.

In the front of the room Antonino Payne (Hazlet, NJ) goes from 26k to 62k when his pocket aces hold, proving that pocket rockets aren't the cursed hand as many perceive.
