Whose Ace Is It Anyway?

Some hot Brit-on-Brit action now. On an {8-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} flop, small blind Paul Ephremsen moved all in for 5,700. After some uncomfortable dwelling, Rumit Somaiya in the big blind position-called him. Pete Linton who had snuck in on the button did the sensible thing and folded, although he looked as though he'd like to have called.

Ephremsen turned over {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} and Somaiya flipped {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. They exchanged a solemn nod, and turned to the board.

Turn: {A-Spades}
River: {10-Spades}

Ephremsen made the straight to stay in the game, while Somaiya good-naturedly grumbled about the traitorous ace.
