Janisse on a Heater

A player moved all in from the blinds for 230,000 and was up against Kyle Janisse in middle position:

All-In Player: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Kyle Janisse: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

"Nothing you can do. One time, dealer," the all-in player pleaded as the board ran out {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Janisse's aces held up.

Janisse had picked up ace-king in a big pot a few hands earlier. "Easy game," Janisse said as he stacked up more than 2,000,000. "Cooler city."

"Sometimes the ace-queen wins, and you just got to accept it," Holtz said heading to the flop.
