Somers Still Burning Hot

The under-the-gun player raised to 800 and the cutoff seat flatted. Ian Somers was in the small blind and jacked up the action to 3,950. The big blind folded and then the original raiser moved all in for a hefty amount of about 20,000 total. Immediately after the cutoff folded, Somers snap-called with {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}. His opponent held {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

The board failed to do damage to Somers' aces and they held strong. He was able to eliminate the opponent and move up to 65,000.
