Best Hand? Not Quite...

[user37786]

Robert Eisenberg made your standard 3x preflop raise and Jeremiah Smith made your standard push-in-a-stack-of-orange-chips reraise. With his tournament life at stake Eisenberg thought a good while before saying, "I'm sure I'm laying down the best hand here," and tabled {A-?}

.

"You think that was the best hand?" Smith said, and when Eisenberg offered to bet that he indeed had the best hand Smith first showed the {A-Hearts}

and then flashed the {A-Spades}

. Smith said he thought there was a chance Eisenberg would call the all in and said, "If you called with ace-jack...you'd deserve to hit two jacks on the flop."
