A Roar from Black #34

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

From across the room you could a hear a large roar from everyone at a table in the middle of the black section. When we went to find out what all the fuss was about, we saw that {a-}{k-} had gotten it in preflop against {a-}{a-}. "This has happened before," you might say. But rarely does the flop come {k-}{k-}{k-}! Well it did on Black #34, saving the tournament life of the man who held ace-king. Blair Rodman, who was sitting in between the two players, even took a picture.

What a story it would be if he used this amazing fortune to make a deep run.
