Championship: Aces vs Kings

$3300 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds 200/400 Ante 50




One of the best feelings in poker is getting pocket aces when someone has a big hand and getting paid for it. One of the worst feelings is getting pocket kings when someone has pocket aces. Especially in a big buy-in tournament. That recently happened at a table as two players got it all pre-flop for an effective 65,150 (163 big blinds). Peter Vitantonio from Cleveland, Ohio was the player holding aces. Peter flopped a set of aces. His opponent picked up the nut flush draw on the turn to give him some life but the river would give him a set of kings, which was no good. Peter was able to breathe a sigh or relief and is above 130K now and is among the chip leaders.
