"GiantGenius" Cracks Aces

"GiantGenius"
"GiantGenius"

In Level 12 with blinds of 1,200/2,400 and an ante of 300, action folded around to the cutoff where "Standoff2327" limped in. "GiantGenius" was next to act and raised to 6,000 on the button. "sdandouli" three-bet shoved for 25,000 in the big blind and "Standoff2327" folded to put action back onto "GiantGenius," who called.

"sdandouli": {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
"GiantGenius": {6-Spades}{5-Spades}

"sdandouli" saw their aces look great preflop and they remained ahead as the flop came {j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, giving "GiantGenius" a pair of fives and a backdoor flush draw. One pair then became two on the turn {6-Clubs}, leaving "sdandouli" in need of hitting an ace, king, or jack to stay alive. Instead, a queen came on the river {q-Spades} and their aces wound up no good to result in their elimination from the tournament.
