Aces For Aguiar

Action folded around to the short stacked player on the button who moved all in for his last 800. The small blind mucked and Jonathan Aguiar made the call, tabling {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}. He was significantly behind the button player's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}, however.

The flop spelled disaster for the short stack, coming {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and pairing Aguiar's ace.

"Of course" the player said sarcastically as he stood up.

"King! King!" shouted Aguiar, rooting for the short stack. Sadly the deck refused to comply with their wishes, falling {4-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Aguiar was able to send one to the rail.
