Duek Takes Massive Pot After Cracking Gerritse's Aces
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dirk Gerritse raised to 28,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to Daniel Zack on the button, he three-bet the pot. Michael Duek in the small blind called, and once the big blind folded, Gerritse four-bet the pot to 390,000. Zack gave it some thought before mucking his hand, but Duek made the call for his stack of 349,000.
Michael Duek: 8♥6♣5♥4♣ 
Dirk Gerritse: A♠A♥9♥2♣
Gerritse had the best of it with his aces, but once the board ran out Q♣10♠7♦10♦9♦ Duek made a straight on the river, to more than double up and crack the aces of Gerritse.
