'How to Crack Aces,' by Mark Vos

There seems to be no method to Mark Vos' madness on the felt tonight, as once again he raised preflop, this time to 1,100. One by one, each player folded until the action got to Bryce Tickner. He moved all in for 2,850 total and Vos made the call.

The two hands were exposed with Vos saying, "You got me on this one."

Vos: {K-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}
Tickner: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

The flop was dealt out {K-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}, putting Vos in the lead with two pair. A little help on the turn or river was what Tickner needed to stay alive, but when the {8-Hearts} and {2-Clubs} came off on the turn and river respectively, it was all over for Tickner.

"I'm sorry mate, I really am," explained Vos while stacking up his mountain of 40,000-plus chips. "I was getting like 26,000 to one."
