First Ace I See I'm Gonna...

Here's a hand that well illustrates the urgency being faced by some of the short stacks at the moment...

Preflop betting left three players all in, with a fourth one who had them covered also vying for the pot. Each of the four players held an ace: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

As it happened, the community cards brought four hearts, giving the hand to the player holding {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and eliminating two others.
