Aces Triumph Over Ace-King...Twice

We caught the action to see three hands turned up in the middle. Two players were all in, one holding {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and one holding {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Donovan Darland made the call, having both players covered. Darland held {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

The flop gave a glimmer of hope to the players holding ace-king, as it fell {Q-}{10-}{6-}. Unfortunately, the turn and river brought no help, and one player was sent to the rail, while Darland's stack has now been reduced to 7,200.
