Paul Magriel Knocks Out a Player

After a flop of KJ2, a player is all in from the cutoff with Q9 against Paul Magriel’s AQ. Both players have gutshot straight draws, but if a ten comes, Magriel’s straight would beat his opponents.

The turn card is — the 9. The cutoff takes the lead with a pair of nines, and he’s poised to double up.

But the river card — the A. Magriel pairs his ace to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from the tournament.
