James Salmon Falls to Jae Hwang's Aces

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

A preflop raising war left James Salmon all in for just over 1.5 million and at risk against Jae Hwang, who held a covering stack.

Hwang: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Salmon: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop was safe for Hwang. Salmon picked up some help on the {Q-Clubs} turn to keep him from drawing dead, but unfortunately for him, the river was the {9-Clubs}, and that kept Hwang in the lead. He earned the knockout and the pot, pushing him close to four million chips.
