"The Master" Wins Big with Aces Before the Break

Men "The Master" Nguyen made it 6,000 to go from under the gun and got 4 callers. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades}; Men checked and the player to his left led out with a 13,000 bet. The action folded around to Nguyen, who check-raised all-in for 12,000 more.

His opponent made the call and turned over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair, Queens and 8's, but Men flipped over pocket A's for a higher two pair.

The turn and river blanked out and Men went on to win the hand, upping his total chip count to 90,000.
