Ace on the River

Aaron Schaff raised from the hijack to 14,500 only to have Dwyte Pilgrim come over with a bunch of chips in hand. He cut out 45,000 and threw in a raise. Tomer Aminpour, who was in the big blind, then asked the dealer if Pilgrim could bring out a big stack and cut out a bet, taking the remainder back. The dealer explained that it was a legal raise and Aminpour clearly disagreed with the rule. Regardless, he decided to move all in.
Schaff, who had sat quietly during the entire situation, snap-called while Pilgrim quickly folded. Schaff, who was the one all in for about 130,000, turned over and was far ahead of Aminpour's
.
The flop didn't change anything and neither did the
turn. Schaff just needed to dodge an ace on the river to double to over 300,000; instead, the
spiked on the river! Schaff was eliminated from the 2011 PCA on a mean river suckout.
