"Better Lucky Than Good"; Ko Cracks Aces on the River
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player on the button moved all in for 49,000 and Stephen Ko put him at risk in middle position.
All-in Player: A♥A♠ 
Stephen Ko: A♦K♦
The at-risk player had found two aces and was a big favorite to double up as the flop came 5♣8♠Q♦. The 8♦ turn gave Ko a flush draw, and he hit his flush on the 7♦ river to send his opponent to the rail.
"Better lucky than good," a tablemate told Ko after the hand.
