Kustafik's Aces Holding Today

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Matthew Kustafik faced a check-raise from the small blind, from 9,500 to 30,000. This effectively committed his opponent’s stack to the pot, and Kustafik thought for a while before taking the plunge with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. He covered his opponent, who tabled {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, and made a higher flush (the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}).

“They held up for once!” said Kustafik, echoing a feeling many players have expressed at the felt.

“You’re good with your aces,” countered a tablemate, “They’re the second aces for you.”
