Schulze Cracks Sonesson's Aces

Christoffer Sonesson - 17th Place
Christoffer Sonesson - 17th Place
German player Michael Schulze had a stroke of early luck in a hand against Christoffer Sonesson that earned him a 320,000 pot and sent Sonesson to the rail.

On a K-J-5 board, Sonesson and Schulze got it all in - Sonesson with pocket aces and Schulze, a set of fives. The turn and river were inconsequential and Sonesson was left short-stacked and desperate. Moments later, he shoved his remaining chips into the middle holding Q-4 and was called, once again by Schulze, who tabled A-6. The board brought no help for either player and Schulze's ace-high took down the miniature pot.

Sonesson walked away with $18,942 in prize money for his 17th place finish.
