"Ace-King, Three Ways to Play Them"
Level 10
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Dario Sammartino opened for 18,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 60,000 by Dominik Nitsche in the small blind. Ole Schemion then put in a four-bet to 123,000 from the big, Sammartino folded, and Nitsche thought for a bit before five-betting all in for approximately 320,000. Schemion made the call.
"Ace-king," Nitsche said. "Three ways to play them."
Nitsche: 
Schemion: 
It was a flip, but Nitsche was the one that needed to improve to stay alive. The 
flop didn't do it, and neither did the 
turn. Nitsche snapped his fingers together and pointed at the board — a gesture designed to will his card — but the dealer did not obey and instead put out the useless 
.
With that, Nitsche hit the rail and Schemion chipped up to 1.1 million.
