Event 13: Tennis Match Hand

$350 + $50 Seniors No Limit Hold'em

The final seven are battling it out front and center in Borgata Event Center.

Here's a cool hand that just went down.

Short stack Edward Newman (Brick, NJ) jams all in pre with AA and Dominick Pelli (Stamford, CT) calls with J 4.

With his two-day tournament on the line, Edward announces, "I got a feeling these are gonna get cracked.

Flop falls: 9♣ 2 J♣ .

Table groans.

Turn card: 4♠ - giving Pelli two Pair, Jacks over fours.

Table groans some more.

River card: 2♠ - the paired board gives Edward the win with Aces over twos.

Table explodes. Nobody could believe it.

What a back and forth hand with so much on the line.

Newman is still short but at least he's not out.
