Unlikely Aces hold as Schievo Doubles Up
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action began postflop with the board showing 7♥3♦9♠. Left short stacked, Matt Schievo jammed all in for 17,500. One opponent called as both players flipped over their hands.
Shievo: A♦A♠
Opponent: 9♣8♣
The board ran out with the 6♠7♣ to give Shievo the double up to 52,000. It was a lucky break as one player reported that "everyone at the table was in the hand" and Aces still managed to hold.
