Ralph Macri making a run for the chip lead

We arrived at Ralph Macri's table to count his chips and saw him bet on the button on a queen high flop. His opponent check-raised and Ralph quickly moved all in, putting his opponent to the test. He eventually made the call, Ralph's pocket aces were in front of his opponent's queen-nine. The aces held to eliminate that player, and Ralph collected a nice pot, padding his stack to 207,000 with 10 minutes until dinner break.
