Ace-High is Good

When we reached Table 405, the flop had already fallen {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. 2009 November Niner Eric Buchman checked, and Andras Koroknai checked behind.

The turn was the {5-Spades}, and Buchman led out for 110,000. Koroknai tank-called.

A third deuce - the {2-Diamonds} - completed the board, and Buchman fired 195,000. Koroknai called.

"Ace-high is good," Buchman sighed.

Koroknai tabled {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for ace high, and Buchman stayed true to his word, mucking his hand.
