Kings into Aces, the Classic Way

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Sometimes, the classic cooler of kings versus aces plays out as you might expect. It was American Mayan Shih who held {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} in late position, and he had three-bet to 1,150. George Turdeanu, with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, four-bet to 4,100, Shih five-bet to 9,000, Turdeanu six-bet shoved, and Shih called all in for 25,300.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Shih's aces remained best. The American quickly grabbed his smartphone to capture the moment, while Turdeanu was left with crumbs.
