The Hammer Can't Smash Aces

We saw a chuckler of a contest over on Table 1, just as they were about to break that table. Jan Bendik was the preflop raiser on the button, and it looks like Christian Pereira flatted from the small blind.

The two men went off to the flop with a pot aof 4,800 in the middle. It came down {9-Spades}

, and Pereira checked. Bendik eyed up his stack and made a big covering bet. Pereira had 7,250 chips left, and he quickly called all in for his tournament life. Cards up, fellas.

Bednik: The mighty {7-Hearts}

Pereira: The lowly {A-Clubs}

The turn was a blank {3-Clubs}

, and the river {3-Spades}

failed to fill Bednik's flush. That spells a double up for Pereira, climbing almost all the way back to his starting stack. He's over 19,000 at the moment.
