Stephen Lutz Lucks Out With the Best Hand

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We noticed Stephen Lutz exhaling in relief, while a huge pot was pushed his way, and with his {A-}{A-} displayed proudly in front of him it was apparent that his pocket rockets had prevailed.

Apparently Lutz got his chips in the middle against a larger stack's {J-}{J-}, and when the board rolled out queen-high with no jacks to be found, his aces were good enough for the double.

When asked for his information after the hand, Lutz let us know that he felt fortunate to have his aces hold up, saying "it must be a major news story when aces hold up, huh?"
