Mansour's Aces Hold

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We've seen aces cracked several times today, but they held up for Rio Mansour. He opened to 5,500 preflop from early position and received a call from four players, bringing a flop of {9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Marcy Jo Penkalski checked her small blind and the player in the big blind moved all in for 22,000. Mansour called, and the other three players got out of the way. Mansour's {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} was in front against the {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and the bigger pair held up through the {6-Clubs} turn and {Q-Clubs} river.

With that, we're down to 29 players.
