Mining for an Ace

After a series of raises and re-raises, William Miner got the rest of his ~11,000 chips into the middle before the flop with {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. He would soon be presented with some bad news as his opponent turned over {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}.

The flop contained an ace, but the {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} kept the pocket kings in the lead. The turn was the {8-Hearts} to improve the player to kings full, but trouble was afoot. The dealer peeled off the {A-Clubs} on the river, and Miner came rallying from behind to improve to the winning aces full of kings.

With that miraculous double up, Miner has moved his way to about 24,000.
