Koch Kills Two Birds with One Pair of Aces

An accident for Paul Zimbler, as he smacked his {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} into Marcel Koch's {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. A straight for Zimbler by the end, but a full house for Koch and Zimbler was down to just 20,000. "I thought I'd be racing," he lamented.

Board: {10-Spades} {5-Spades} {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {Q-Spades}


The next hand, Koch raised to 20,000 and to his immediate left Anto O'Callaghan pushed all in. It folded around to Zimbler on the big blind, who grinned and took a coin out of his pocket. He flipped the coin and it came up call. Koch quickly called too, and it was three-way, on their backs.

Zimbler: {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
O'Callaghan: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Koch: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {8-Spades} {10-Spades}

Zimbler and O'Callaghan both headed for the rail.
