Knieps Gets Value with Aces

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

This hand was picked up with over 8,000 already in the middle on a board that read J394. Michael Knieps checked out of the big blind, and Krishnan Vishwanathan checked back from early position.

This brought the 4 river. Knieps came out with a bet of 5,000. Vishwanathan gave it a brief consideration before he put in the call.

Knieps showed AA, which was enough as Vishwanathan threw his hand in the muck to award the pot to Knieps.
