The final table of the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic started a few minutes ago and it started with a huge confrontation between Jeff Papola and Johan Storakers. Johan raised from under the gun and Jeff reraised from the big blind. Johan thought a bit before repopping it himself, and Jeff then moved in for his last 687,000. Johan tanked for a good long while before making the call, and when he did he found that his As-Kd was crushed by Jeff's pocket Aces. Storakers was drawing dead by the turn and Papola won a pot that vaulted him into the chip lead with nearly 2 million.
