Aces Running Wild

[user339872]

Nível 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Pocket aces have been getting passed around today and showing up quite often. Luckily, they have been holding up for most players. Kristen Bicknell was holding the strongest starting hand in poker and was facing a raise of 2,800. Bicknell put in a three-bet to 10,700 and the action folded back around to her opponent who piled his remaining 63,000 chips in the middle. Bicknell quickly called and was up against the pocket kings of her opponent. The board ran out and Bicknell scooped a big pot.

Merely seconds later, just two tables away, Mike Leah opened from middle position to 3,000. His opponent moved all in for around 25,000 and the action was folded back to Leah. He said to his opponent sitting beside him, "I've only looked at one card, do you want to sweat with me?". The two were friends, so they agreed to look at the second card together. It just so happened that Leah was holding pocket aces as well and quickly made the call. His opponent held and was drawing dead by the turn.
