Aces Versus Kings Played A Bit Differently

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Hand started with a player opening from under the gun to 2,700. Dave Asaki was in middle position and made it 12,300. Greg Heath on the button called. Under the gun folded.

Before the flop was even dealt, Asaki announced that he is going all in and Heath also quickly said he��s going to call. Both players efficiently had their bets in the middle before the dealer started dealing out the flop, which came 9?K?8?. At this point the players turned over their hands.

Dave Asaki: A?A? All in
Greg Heath: K?K?

Asaki was the player at risk and got an unfortunate flop. The turn was the 10?. The river 10? gave Heath the full house and Asaki was sent packing.

The under-the-gun player, who had folded to the big three-bet and call preflop, said he had pocket tens and would have made quads by the river.
