Is Four Aces Good?

Scott Freeman opened with a raise to 10,500 from middle position. Action passed to Simon Ravnsbaek on the button, and he moved all in for approximately 55,000. Freeman made the instant call with {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}. Ravnsbaek held {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}.

Ravnsbaek was drawing nearly dead on the flop when it came {5-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. Freeman's top set was unbeatable, but it got even better. To add insult to elimination, the dealer ripped off the case ace, {A-Hearts} on the turn. A {J-Clubs} on the river is the last card Ravnsbaek will see in this event; he makes his way out after getting quadded to death.
