Sixes in Reserve Help Hagens

Shamus

Nathan Hagens opened with a pot-sized raise to 7,000 in middle position. Clonie Gowen reraised to 24,000 from the cutoff, and Hagens called with his remaining chips.

Hagens {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

Gowen

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

As often happens in these aces-vs.-aces confrontations, the players' other two cards determine how the hand goes. The flop came {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

, giving Hagens a set of sixes, and Gowen couldn't come back.

Hagens bumps up to 80,000, while Gowen slips to 70,000.
