Kanaan Folds Aces

Michael Kanaan has just made a remarkable fold, and we have no idea if it was correct. At the moment, the only person who knows is Matt Wakeman, with the two playing out a fascinating recent pot.
Wakeman started it off with a raise to 3,300. Kanaan three-bet to 6,500 and Wakeman splashed out a call to see a flop of 
.
Wakeman was first to act, and rather than check to the preflop aggressor, he decided to lead out with a bet of 7,700. Kanaan took a moment and matched the bet as the 
appeared on the turn to put three spades on board. Wakeman took another look at his hole cards before betting again, this time for 11,400.
Kanaan thought for a few moments but didn’t take too long to decide to fold.
We had to do a double take when he flashed 
to the table as the rockets hit the muck. Wakeman’s jaw dropped as he offered Kanaan the opportunity to see his own cards if he wanted to. Unfortunately for us, Kanaan declined.
A huge fold by Kanaan avoids a big clash, as Wakeman chips up to 62,000.
