Ace-King No Good
Level 14
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With the pot at over 100,000, the board read 7♣J♥5♥2♠ and Sean An bet out for 28,000 from the big blind. John Hardie called from early position, and the J♠ peeled off on the river.
Both players checked and An tabled A♣K♥, hoping his ace high was good, but unfortunately Hardie flipped 6♥6♦ to be sent the pot.
On the very next table with the flop showing 8♦3♦J♣ and the pot at 110,000, Chris Knight and Andrew Lavender both checked. Knight checked dark before the 6♦ came on the turn, and Lavender checked back. The same process happened when the 7♥ fell on the river. Lavender flipped AxKx and thought that they both had the same hand, but no such luck as Knight tabled Q♠Q♥ and was pushed the pot.
