Aces a Good Starter, and Finisher Sometimes

Jeremy Ausmus got it all in with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and was up against Patrick Fortin's {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The board ran out {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and Ausmus survived. He's up to 26,000.

At a nearby table, Anna Wroblewski held {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and called her opponent's all-in after a flop of {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Her opponent showed pocket queens for the set, but the {9-Hearts} on the turn gave Wroblewski the heart flush. The river didn't pair the board, and Wroblewski now is up to 62,000.
