Aces Versus Aces Versus Kings
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was picked up with Matt Nilges all in for 18,500, the big blind also all in for roughly 65,000, and Wilburn Hutcheson covering both players to put them at risk.
Matt Nilges: A♠A♦
Big Blind: K♠K♣
Wilburn Hutcheson: A♥A♣
It was a collision of premium hands, with both Nilges and Hutcheson holding pocket aces against the big blind’s pocket kings. The board ran out Q♦J♥5♥3♠Q♣, and the aces held up, meaning Nilges and Hutcheson chopped the main pot, while Hutcheson scooped the sizeable side pot, eliminating the big blind with kings in the process.
