Unimproved Aces Are Not Gold, Part 47

[user75032]

Dan Shak and Kenneth Mattson got in a raising war on a flop of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

and eventually Mattson was all in, with Shak just barely having him covered. Shak showed unimproved aces with no draw; Mattson held {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

. (I guess he's one of those "tricky players" Johnny Chan was recently pontificating about.)

The board came running tens to make a full house for Mattson. He jumps up to 157,000, while Dan "I trade stocks online while playing the WSOP" Shak is on life support with just 14,000.
