Black Picks Up Aces to Finish Off McCracken

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tim Black
Tim Black

Tim Black raised to 2,500 under the gun before William McCracken moved all in for 13,200 in the hijack. Pavan Katragadda called in the small blind, while Black then reshoved for 28,000. Katragadda again called to put both opponents at risk.

William McCracken: Q♣J♥ All in
Tim Black: A♣A♠ All in
Pavan Katragadda: A♦10♠

Black had found two aces and was a big favorite to scoop the pot as the flop came Q♠5♣5♥. The A♥ turn improved Black to a full house, while the river came the 4♠. He doubled up off Katragadda, while McCracken was sent to the rail.
