Robert Gill raised to 7,000 from under the gun, and was called by a player in middle position. Then it folded to Ky Nguyen in the big blind, who three-bet to 22,000. Then Gill put in the four-bet 75,000. That got the player in middle position to fold, before Nguyen five-bet all in for 138,500. Gill said "If I run into races again with this hand" and made the call.
Ky Nguyen: A?A?
Robert Gill: A?K?
Gill's instincts were right, and after the board ran out 2?Q?K?9?J? the pocket aces were still best, to give Nguyen the double up.
