The Battle of (A)Arons
Level 15
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Aron Dermer raised from the small blind and Aaron Sacks defended from the big blind.
On the 
flop, Dermer led out, Sacks raised and was called.
Dermer then check-called both the 
turn and 
river.
Sacks turned over 
for a pair of eights with a jack kicker but Dermer showed 
for the same pair with a higher kicker and took down the pot.
In the next hand, Dermer raised on the button, Sacks three-bet from the small blind, and Dermer called.
Sacks led out on every street of the 
board and Dermer followed all the way.
Sacks flipped up 
for a pair of aces and won the hand.
