The Curse of the Ace-King

Arnaud Mattern, Faraz Jaka, and Vadzim Kursevich have all been eliminated holding ace-king.

Jaka's day to forget continued when he ran ace-king into an opponent's pocket sevens. He was looking for party bracelets in the press room afterwards. A few stiff drinks later to blow off steam.

Mattern three-bet all-in with ace-king only for Claudio Pollin to wake up with pocket jacks behind. He isolated and managed to avoid an ace and a king to bus the Team PokerStars Pro.

EPT Deauville winner Vadzim Kursevich ran ace-king into ace-king and lost out to his opponent's flush.
