Ace Defense

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

How not to bust in the first level with aces:

Scott Montgomery, who is looking tré sharp in a suit, tie, and fedora, raised to 250. Another player made it 800, and Montgomery flatted. The flop fell {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Montgomery checked. So did his opponent. The turn was the {4-Hearts}, and both players checked again. Finally after the {7-Diamonds} river, Montgomery decided to bet. He made it 1,700, and his opponent tossed out a single 5k chip. "Is that a call?" Montgomery asked, hoping it wasn't. But it was.

Scott turned over {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for flopped quads. His opponent mucked black aces, which had cost him the minimum.
