Aces Giveth, and Aces Taketh Away

After doubling up with pocket Aces a bit earlier in the day Gus Hansen just lost half his stack after he ran up against them. He raised to 74,000 and Allan King moved all-in for 500,000. King was just moved to the table and Hansen said, "I have absolutely no idea what you have."

He thought it over a bit more and said, "This is a big chunk of my money..I won a big pot with this hand...I call." His pocket Tens trailed badly and the {5-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} board gave the 1.2 million pot to King, while Gus was left with just 420,000.
