You may not believe it but I got knocked off a final table in this exact same way. Getting river heart flushed to boot. Although I lost about a thousand because of it, not a million... (If it was a mill I would have flipped the table over haha)

That would hurt, especially on the final table.

Why was he eliminated after losing this hand, even if they go all-ins? he still should have something left.
There must have been a lot of lower denomination chips.Quote: andysifSeems like the guy who lost had a lot more chips at the beginning of the hand than the guy who won.

All gambling can be cruel but poker seems to be the worst.

The "this" appears to be a poker tournament with a one million dollar buy-in that just happened to feature a very early pair of Aces to each of the players followed by sufficient hearts being dealt to win.
"All in" seems to mean ALL.
This is a surprise?
You wanted longer time at table? You expected longer time at table?
Well, it seems poker is all that much different than craps or blackjack...money can go fast.

Drinan bet 4.97 million, "all in". Katz had the chips to call. He was not "all in". It's a sucky way to lose that's for sure, but either one had an opportunity to call and risk less.
