Sultanem Has Aces

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

There were three people involved in a hand, with {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} showing on the felt.

A player on the button bet 8,000, and the small blind jammed for 15,700. Georges Sultanem tossed his entire stack in from the big blind, but it was declared just a call because he didn't have enough to raise the bet.

The button called, and three players saw the {3-Spades} river, and Sultanem checked it to the button, who did the same.

The all-in from the small blind showed {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, but Sultanem had {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. The button folded and Sultanem nearly doubled up.
