Casagrande Doubles With Ace from Space
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dennis Weiss limped in from the hijack, Marcus Dieleman limped from the button, Harald Casagrande limped from the small blind and Theo Jorgensen checked from the big blind.
The flop came A♥K♥3♠. Casagrande checked, Jorgensen bet 25,000, Weiss called, Dieleman folded, and Casagrande shoved for 141,000. Jorgensen called, and Weiss raised to 600,000, forcing Jorgensen to fold.
Harald Casagrande: A♦6♣4♠3♥ 
Dennis Weiss: K♣K♦5♣3♣
Casagrande was in bad shape with two pair against Jorgensen's set of kings. The 9♦ turn changed nothing for either player, but the A♣ river gave Casagrande aces full of threes for the double up.
Jorgensen mentioned that he had folded ace-king and that Casagrande had hit the case ace as the latter player dragged in the pot.
