Davis Cracks Aces

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A short-stacked opponent moved all-in and Shaun Davis called with a bigger stack.

Opponent: {a-}{a-}
Shaun Davis: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The opponent was in great shape to double up with the better overpair, but the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and the table gasped as Davis hit a king on the turn to crack the opponent's aces. The opponent winced in pain as she left the tournament area with the money bubble looming.

"I didn't even see the king come out! I was counting out the chips!" Davis told the table.
