Hicks Cracks Aces
Level 29
: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Nick Hicks has just helped himself to a 1,430,000 pot after cracking the aces of Jakob Michalak.
Michalak opened to 250,000 with the 
and was called by Nick Hicks with the 
. The 
flop was the dream flop for Hicks, but he decided to slow play his trip jacks and he checked behind when Michalak failed to fire a continuation bet. Hicks then led for 250,000 on the 
turn and Michalak called. The 
river completed the board and Hicks fired an 800,000 bet. Michalak called and saw that his hand was now second best.
