Luck Isn't Always with the Ladies

If I have one piece of advice for people playing in the World Series of Poker Main Event, it's this -- try not to run your big pairs into aces. Just don't do it. It's not gonna work out well for you (well, it's not gonna work out well about four out of every five times it happens). It didn't work out for Charlie Ward, as his queens ran into another player's aces and the bullets held up. Ward was left with just 4,675 after the hand.
