Riesenberg Gets the Juice From Aces

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Under the gun, John O'Shea made it 40,000 to go and Millard Hale flatted from the next position. Jasin Riesenberg, however, put the price little higher, announcing his all in worth 75,000 from the cutoff.

Action returned to O'Shea who re-shoved. He had 364,000 but was allowed to put in only 294,000, but it had the same effect. Hale knew he would need to play for all O'Shea's chips, and he contemplated for over a minute. Then he released his hand.

O'Shea: {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Riesenberg: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Riesenberg's aces remained ahead all the way through the {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades} board. O'Shea failed to make a low despite a promising flop, and he had to pay off. Riesenberg nearly tripled, getting the best from his aces.
