Lowe Wakes Up With Aces
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to John Berreman in the cutoff who raised to 8,000, which was called by Ralph Porter on the button. Then Keith McKuin three-bet all in for his stack of 370,000 in the small blind, which was snap called by the big blind Nicholas Lowe. Both Berreman and Porter quickly folded, leaving the players heads up, with Lowe at risk.
Nicholas Lowe: A♠A♣ 
Keith McKuin: K♠9♠
McKuin ran into the pocket aces of Lowe, and once the board ran out 6♣5♠5♣8♠8♥ the pocket aces of Lowe were still best, to give him the double up.
