James Hess Gets Reraised Off His Ace...Twice

We witnessed two hands recently which saw James Hess raise from the small blind, only to fold when the big blind three-bet him. In the first instance, Hess raised to 31,000 and Stuart Krasney three-bet for his last 224,000. The power play worked and Hess folded his hand after a nearly five-minute tank, showing the {A-Spades} as he threw his cards away.

We just saw the same thing happen, with Hess raising from the small blind to 31,000 and folding to a reraise by James Lipton in the big blind. Hess showed the {A-Spades} once more and it appears he will need to alter this strategy of raising with weak aces if he hopes to continue his run in this Seniors Championship.
