Fuchs Shows the Table How to Play Aces
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Tom Fuchs three-bet to 3,300 in the small blind, Ami Barer moved all in from the big blind, and Fuchs called for his last 12,000.
Tom Fuchs: A♥A♠ 
Ami Barer: J♦J♣
Fuchs had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to double up as the flop came 3♦K♠10♦. The K♦ turn, though, gave Barer outs to a flush.
"There's always a sweat," tablemate Nina Krasilnikova said, but Fuchs successfully dodged the 2♠ river to double up.
"That's how you play aces. You double up with them," Dietrich Fast added.
