Aces Land Safely
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
A player in middle position limped and action folded to the button who put in a raise. "Cowboy" John Land was in the small blind and pushed back to the tune of 3,400. Both the middle-position player and the button called as the flop came down 
.
Land was first to act and checked to the middle-position player, who moved all in for 8,850. The button wisely got out of the way and Land made the quick call:
Middle Position: 
Land: 
Land was ahead but needed to avoid a diamond. It quickly became a mute point as the 
hit the turn and left his opponent drawing dead. After the 
was put out on the river for good measure, Land collected the pot and increased his stack to 45,000.
