Affleck's Big Pair Holds Up
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matt Affleck opened to 20,000 in middle position and Kitty Kuo three-bet in the small blind. Affleck four-bet jammed a stack of around 150,000 and Kuo quickly called.
Matt Affleck: K♠K♥ 
Kitty Kuo: A♣K♣
Affleck, who famously had aces cracked by Jonathan Duhamel deep in the 2010 WSOP Main Event, braced for disaster as the board ran out J♣4♥7♠7♥6♣ to earn him a double.
"You can tell who at this table has PTSD and who doesn't," commented Brock Wilson.
