Aces Aces Everywhere

Dec 08, '08

Johannes Strassmann was just involved in a pot worth the best part of 5,000 in chips. The board was A8635 and he happily turned over two rosey red aces to beat his opponent's 98.

Moving across the room, the pocket rockets seem to come with us. With 2,200 in the pot the board was 753J4 and it looked like Ludovic Lacay was chipping down. He had about 3,800 left and bet 600 on the river. Otto Richard called him down and Lacay flipped over aces and smiled as he chipped up to over 7,000.

Two seconds later, Alain Roy and his opponent were in a raising war. Roy finally called his opponent' s all-in on a board showing 10-5-6-Q-5 but Roy's pocket kings were not enough to withstand his opponent's pocket aces. Despite losing more than 5,500, Roy still has quite a nice stack in front of him.
