Beautiful River for AguileraChristian Aguilera (Hicksville, NY) hopes he's as big a hit this tournament as what his pop music counterpart has produced. And so far this Aguilera has no need for Christina's "Genie in a Bottle," as he's been rubbing the cards the right way.
Aguilera takes down a 430k pot when he open shoves on the river with a straight and eliminates our mystery player from earlier in the day, who calls off his last 50k. "I had 10-9 off suit in the big blind," says Aguilera who's now the unofficial chip leader with 775k. "It only cost me 12-thousand more, so I took a shot."
As the hand unfolds Aguilera picks up an open-ended straight draw on the turn and connects against Mr. X who's eliminated with two pairs.
As for the Aguilera name he says, "it was great growing up because of (former Mets pitcher) Rick Aguilera, but now I get a little grief," noting that Christian is a two letter switch away from Christina.
While he doesn't admit to putting any Aguilera songs on his iPod, Christian's quick to point out, "Beautiful is a good song, you can write that."
Level 19 (6k/12k/2k ante) is winding down.
