Aces, Aces Everywhere

It seems like every time we turn around, someone is being dealt pocket aces. It was Jason Somerville's turn. He opened preflop for 1,550 and found one caller before the button player moved all in. Somerville reraised all in himself to ensure that he was heads up with the button, who showed down {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. The button paired queens on the flop but didn't improve from there.

Somerville took down the pot to increase his count to 30,000.
