Montalto Rolling

Vito Montalto is on a bit of a heater after knocking out Andrew Jeffreys and cracking aces in back-to-back hands.

In the first hand, Jeffreys moved all in before the flop with {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} and Montalto made the call with {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}. A {10-Spades} {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} board gave Montalto a set of kings, subsequently sending Jeffreys to the rail.

One hand later, Montalto called an opponent's all in bet holding {A-?} {10-?} on a {K-?} {10-?} {4-?} board. Montalto's opponent tabled a pocket pair of aces, but a third ten on the turn tilted the scales in favor of Montalto who stacked up right around 14,000 in chips afterwards.
