Der Megreditchian Spikes an Ace to Leave Pitzanti on Fumes
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jacques Der Megreditchian moved all in for 85,000 under the gun and Sandro Pitzanti called in early position, having Der Megreditchian barely covered.
Jacques Der Megreditchian: A?J? 
Sandro Pitzanti: 9?9?
Der Megreditchian hit top pair on the A?7?4? flop to take the lead, while he improved to two pair on the 7? turn and J? river to secure the double up and leave Pitzanti on an extreme short stack.
"Chip and a chair," a tablemate joked with Pitzanti after the hand.
