Roche Loses the Minimum

[user46298]

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Somehow Peter Roche escaped potentially deadly pocket kings (vs. aces and, er, 3-4 suited) losing under 20k and remaining on over 60,000 total. It happened because of a sneaky flat call from some {A-} {A-} preflop (Roche the raiser) which brought Guillaume Darcourt into the hand too.

The flop: {2-} {5-} {6-} - with two diamonds. Roche bet 10,000, and was soon raised by Darcourt with {3-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} having flopped the nuts. Mr. Aces (now busto) continued on all in, but Roche folded, leaving the strange result of the flop to be seen by the table.
