The Classic Confrontation

We only had to wait 15 minutes before we encountered the classic confrontation of aces vs kings.

We picked this hand up on the turn with the board showing:

{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

With both players all in preflop, Carlo Gosselin showed {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} against Nick Blackburn's {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

When the {K-Spades} hit on the river, the screams could be heard across the room as Gosselin doubled through to 20,000. Blackburn was left with only 400 in chips after losing to a two-outer and was eliminated shortly afterwards.
