Karl's Aces Held

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

The last of Izzet Temel's chips were just claimed after he open-shipped for his last 135,000 or so.

Temel was called in one spot by Karl Held, and he asked his opponent "do you have an ace?" while tabling his own {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Unfortunately for Temel, the answer was in the affirmative, as Held silently rolled over his {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} to put a hammerlock on the hand.

The flop rained down {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades} to provide a bit of hope for Temel, and he called for a queen to arrive for the tournament-saving chop. Twas not to be though, as the turn ({3-Spades}) and river ({8-Clubs}) bricked off to leave him with no pair, and no more chips.

Held surged above the 550,000-chip plateau as the money bubble approaches, putting himself in comfortable position to earn a coveted cash.
