James Robertson placed 2nd in the tournament last night. He was a rollercoaster early in the game, and was nearly eliminated at one point about two hours into it. However, he played smart, took a few pots, built a fairly decent sized stack, and ultimately made it to the final table.

Then came "The Hand".

Although not on the short-stack, James was sitting about 5th (out of 8th) place in the chip count. First to act off the big blind, James is dealt AA and raises to $5,000. Another player to his left bumps it up to $15,000. Jeff Peden calls $15,000. Then the small-blind calls "all-in".

James calls the all-in
The player to his left calls the all-in
Jeff Peden calls the all-in.

The cards are flipped up, and the hands are AA, KK, JJ, 44. No one hit their set on the board, and the AA won it. James made over $60,000 on the hand, and ultimately took second place.

I can never get that kind of action with AA, except when I lose with it... :)
