Duan Runs Into Aces

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 25,000 ante

Bin Duan raised to 58,500, leaving just 500 chips behind. It then folded to Sam Laskowitz in the big blind who snap-called, thinking Duan was all in and tabled his hand, which were two aces.

The flop then came 8♣3♣2♠ and Laskowitz bet to put Duan all in. Duan used two time extensions before flicking in the chip to call.

Bin Duan: Q♠Q♦ All in
Sam Laskowitz: A♠A♥

Duan called off knowing he only had two outs, and he could not find any help after the board ran out J♣J♥ to give the pot to Laskowitz and eliminate Duan.
