Nilges Doubles with Aces

Kirk Brown

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After some back-and-forth betting, Matthew Nilges and Kenneth Allen got it all into the middle preflop, with Nilges at risk of elimination.

Matthew Nilges: A♦A♥ All in
Kenneth Allen: J♠J♣

"Ugh, yeah, I'm not good enough to fold that," Allen said when he realized what he was up against.

The runout of 2♠4♣Q♠7♠9♦ changed nothing and Nilges was shipped the pot for the double.

Left short, Allen was eliminated soon after.
