Aces for Bruner

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Ryan Bruner raised under the gun to 3,500 and the player on his left called before the big blind ended up shoving for 8,100. Bruner gave it some thought before four-betting, and that got the player on his left to quickly fold.

Bruner: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and Bruner's pair of aces held up to give him the bounty and a the big stack.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and Lerner tripled up. Trivett took the side pot and was left with under 7,000 in chips.
