Aces Versus Kings Between the Blinds

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Marius Gierse
Marius Gierse

Marius Gierse raised in the small blind and Peter Placey three-bet in the big blind. Gierse then four-bet jammed for around 100,000 and was met by a snap-call.

Marius Gierse: AA All in
Peter Placey: KK

Gierse was on the winning end of the ultimate cooler as the board ran out a safe J71082 to earn the German a double.
