Aces Hold for Attard

With the board showing {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and his opponent having fired a big bet of 12,500, Dan Attard sat in contemplation for several seconds before announcing he was all in, and after thinking a short while his opponent called.

Attard tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}, then stood and exhaled loudly when he saw his opponent's {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The turn was the {7-Spades} and the river the {K-Diamonds}, and Attard had survived. "Aces hold!" he said, the relief in his voice evident as he retook his seat.
