How About Aces Versus Kings?

Under the gun, Ricardo Sousa raised to 14,000, and Antoino Matias re-raised to 25,000 in middle position. On the button, Matt Johns four-bet to 78,000 enough to quickly fold Sousa. Matias, though, announced an all in for 293,500. Johns instantly called, turning over {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Matias took another 10 or 15 seconds to push his stacks over the line one-by-one, then he slapped his {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} down on the felt. Johns had Matias covered by about 70,000, so it was the Portuguese native who was all in and at risk.

The dealer would run out a safe board for him: {8-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. With his aces holding, Matias has picked up a huge double over 600,000. Johns is left with just those 70,000 chips and a big frown.
