Back-to-Back Aces For Block

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Art Demmerley raised to 35,000 before the flop and ran into a three-bet from Rick Block to 65,000. Demmerley called.

The two saw a flop of {Q-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Demmerley checked. Block moved out a tower of 100,000 and Demmerley snap-raised him to 300,000 total. Block took a deep breath and called for his tournament life of 275,000.

Block: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Demmerley: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Block was in a dominating position with his pocket aces and secured a double into the chip lead after the {3-Hearts} and the {8-Spades} completed the board. Block is now flirting with 700,000 in tournament chips.
