Pagano's Aces Hold
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Brian Pagano open-jammed his 52,000-chip stack into the middle from under the gun. The player on the button called all in for less and the blinds got out of the way.
Button: 5♣5♦ 
Brian Pagano: A♠A♥
The flop came down 8♣4♣Q♣ and the button flopped several outs but the turn A♦ gave Pagano top set. The river 3♠ peeled off and Pagano escaped after a scary flop to stack his opponent and nearly double up himself.
