Elsby Hangs On With Aces

Level 37 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with just under 10,000,000 in the middle on a board showing QQ38, Matthew Elsby checked from the middle position to Qiwen Chen next to act who bet out 5,500,000. Elsby pondered his decision, but eventually made the call.

The 9 hit the river and Elsby quickly checked to Chen, who after some time, tapped the table to check back. Elsby rolled over AA for rockets and scored the pot when Chen tossed his cards into the muck.
