Stitzel Makes Kings Full to Crack Two Pairs of Aces
An early position player opened before the button put in a three-bet. James Stitzel then four-bet shoved a stack of about 650,000 from the small blind, after which John Ohara five-bet jammed a bigger stack. The button called with about 450,000.
James Stitzel: 
Button: 
John Ohara: 
Stitzel was in big trouble as his kings were pipped by the aces of both of his opponents. The flop of 
didn't change much, but the 
miraculously appeared on the turn to give Stitzel kings full and have both opponents drawing dead as they held each other's outs.
The 
river didn't change anything other than giving Ohara a useless flush and Stitzel secured the near triple-up, while the button hit the rail after taking the colossally bad beat.
"That hand played itself," Ohara shrugged.
