A Good Time to Find Aces

[user37786]

There's never really a BAD time to look down and see two aces, but it's especially good when two players have already moved all in ahead of you.

That's the situation Thomas Middelthon found himself in after Alvan Silverberg pushed in all of his chips and Kao Saetern moved all in as well. Middelthon called with his {A-Spades}

, Saetern showed {K-Clubs}

, and Silverberg held {K-Hearts}

.

The

didn't give his opponents even a glimmer of hope, and that massive hand propelled Middelthon's stack to 530,000.

The Sign Of Four

[user37786]

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that it's gonna be a long, long time before Eric Vargo will be able to look at another player's pocket Fours without getting sick. After calling another player's all-in bet Vargo turned over pocket Tens to his opponent's pocket Fours. The board brough no cards that threatened Vargo's hand...until the {4-Diamonds}

spiked on the river. The other player's friends went bersek on the rail as Vargo watched as the pot was pushed the other way.

On the very next hand, Vargo moved in his last 16,000 with {Q-Diamonds}

and was called by a player holding...pocket Fours. And the flop came {J-Hearts}
