Poon's Aces Cracked

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player under the gun raised to 3,600, and Tommy Poon made it 8,000 to go in the hijack. The player UTG called, and a flop of {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} prompted him to move all in for 12,200. Poon snap-called, revealing {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. His opponent was in bad shape with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, and things looked more dire after a {5-Clubs} turn. A miracle {k-Spades} hit the river, causing Poon to rock back in his chair in amazement as he was forced to double his opponent up.
