Won't Be Making a Set

Nigel Jones had limped preflop when John Villanueva made it 1,100 to go. The player on the button made it 4,200 and Nigel moved all in. John called the all-in, as did the player on the button who was covered by Nigel.

The player from the button turned over pocket kings to see he was up against a wall - both Nigel and Villanueva turned over pocket aces!

The aces held up, which isn't much of a surprise, but it was one heck of a beat story.
