Stitzel Makes Kings Full to Crack Two Pairs of Aces

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

An early position player opened before the button put in a three-bet. James Stitzel then four-bet shoved a stack of about 650,000 from the small blind, after which John Ohara five-bet jammed a bigger stack. The button called with about 450,000.

James Stitzel: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Button: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
John Ohara: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Stitzel was in big trouble as his kings were pipped by the aces of both of his opponents. The flop of {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} didn't change much, but the {k-Clubs} miraculously appeared on the turn to give Stitzel kings full and have both opponents drawing dead as they held each other's outs.

The {5-Clubs} river didn't change anything other than giving Ohara a useless flush and Stitzel secured the near triple-up, while the button hit the rail after taking the colossally bad beat.

"That hand played itself," Ohara shrugged.
