Aces Hold

We managed to catch up to the action at table 428 in time to witness the beginnings of a growing pot. With about 900 chips already in the middle two players were allowed to see a {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. The player in middle position was first to act, and opted to check. Erica Falcone on the button then pushed out a bet of 725, to which the player in middle position quickly put out a reraise of 1,800. Falcone moved all in and was called.

Falcone tabled {A-}{A-} and her opponent showed {K-}{K-}. Falcone's aces were ahead going to the turn and just needed to avoid a king. With a {9-Clubs} falling on the turn and a {9-Spades} landing on the river Falcone secured her double up.
