Ariston is OUT in the first level. Again. And steaming about it.
His chips were taken by a Pocket Aces Triple Whammy (in others' hands, not his). The first chunk went when he had
and flopped a set, but the Ace on the flop also brought the Button with his
a set...lucky for him they both played slowly.
Then, after someone had exposed an Ace while folding, and another guy dwelled in an "I have an Ace" sort of way before passing, Ariston found
in the small blind. It folded to the button, who raised, Ariston re-raised, the third raise came and before you could say, "10,000 chips" it was all in the middle. Button man had th other two Aces again, and that was basically that.
Not a happy chappy, and probably avoiding the poker tables for the rest of today.
