Lang Lasting Through Huge Field

After the short stack player in the cut-off moved all in, we found Douglas Lang not only calling, but raising on the button. No one else was willing to shell out the dough so cards were flipped. Lang held {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and had his opponent dominated as he had {A-}{6-}.

Both players were awarded an ace on the {4-}{10-}{A-}{7-}{4-}, but it was Lang's better kicker that allowed him to deliver the knock-out to his opponent.
