Shek Overbets Massively into Aces

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a pot of only 62,000 George Shek had led all-in from the small blind for a massive 217,000. The board read {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and the bet massively confused his opponent Gaurav Kumar. He was puzzled as he tried to put together what his opponent's holding could be.

Eventually, he shrugged and called, having his questions answered within seconds.

George Shek: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Gaurav Kumar: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

The turn {2-Spades} and the river {5-Diamonds} were clean for an elated Kumar, who neared a million chips by winning this pot. Meanwhile, Shek said goodbye to the table and was eliminated shortly before the end of Day 2.
