Aces, Always Aces

[user37786]

Men "The Master" Nguyen has just been eliminated, and guess what? He ran into Aces again! After Nguyen raised to 800 with {J-Hearts}

the player in the small blind re-raised to 1750. and Nguyen called. The flop came {K-Spades}

and when the small blind moved in Men called with his open-ended straight draw.

And found that, once again, he was up against Aces. And, again, he wasn't able to crack those Aces the way his own pair of bullets were cracked early on. And that ended Men "The Master's" eventful afternoon.

R.C. Sadler Hits Jackpot with Set of Aces

[user38420]

A player pushed all-in from under-the-gun, R.C. Sadler called from middle postion, along with a late position player and the small blind. The small blind had A-K, UTG had J-J, Sadler had A-A and the late position player had Q-Q. All was quiet as the board came 5-4-9-A-7. Now that was a hand to watch unfold. Stiff competion, but the aces not only held up, but "turned" into a set. What more could you ask for? After the hand, Sadler was up to 22,000.
