Attias Has to Sweat Out Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Reouven Attias raised to 6,000 in middle position before Kevin Rabichow three-bet to 15,000 on the button. Attias then moved all in for 36,500, and Rabichow called.
Reouven Attias: A♦A♥ 
Kevin Rabichow: A♠Q♥
Attias had found a pair of aces and was a big favorite to double up as the flop came J♠4♣5♠, but the K♠ turn gave Rabichow outs to a straight and flush. "What a card," tablemate Michael Perrone said, but Attias dodged the 9♦ river to secure the double up.
"Oh, come on," Rabichow said with a laugh as he handed over the pot.
"What were you worried about? I hate people who worry with aces," Perrone said to Attias after the hand.
