Not A Gran-Stad

It wasn't a terrible start either though for Henning Granstad, but having been unlucky in a couple of early pots, Granstad picked up a timely double up to boost his slightly depleted stack back over 20,000. Jarred Solomon limped, Granstad raised to 800 with {A-?} {A-?} and then Andreas Berggren reraised to 2,900, before Solomon re-reraised to 8,900. Granstad had the mundane task of putting his remaining chips in the middle and Berggren folded what he later said was {Q-?} {Q-?}, while Solomon called with {K-?} {K-?}.

The aces held, now if only every hand was this simple, then poker would be so easy.
