Kirkpatrick Finds Value With Aces
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Frank Kirkpatrick opened to 2,400 in the hijack and action folded around to the big blind, who defended. The flop fell 
and the big blind checked. Kirkpatrick fired a continuation-bet of 3,000 into the middle and the big blind called, hanging around for the turn 
.
The big blind checked again, putting action on Kirkpatrick. He checked behind and the river came 
. The big blind checked once more and Kirkpatrick threw out a 9,300-chip bet. The big blind took about 10 seconds to think before tossing out two orange T5,000 chips to call.
Kirkpatrick tabled 
and his opponent mucked upon seeing the hand, unable to beat Kirkpatrick's pair of aces as he raked in another pot in consecutive fashion.
