Event 18: It Must Be Her Forte

$1850 + $150 No Limit Hold'em     

Over on table 11 there was a three-way pre-flop all-in.  Tara Forte (West Somethingville, NY) was the shortest stack, but she had the biggest pair - pocket Aces.  The biggest stack held pocket Kings and the middle stack held pocket Tens.

Tara Forte

The flop was all Tara's: A J J giving her Aces-full.  The Ten on the turn gave the middle stack Tens-full.  When a blank landed on the river, Tara tripled up to ~100k.  The middle stack only had 625 more than her, which he doubled to 1,250.  He busted out soon after.
