Look-a-Like Aces

I'm sure most of you reading this have at one point or another squeezed your hand and discovered some variation of {A-?} {4-?}, and got prematurely excited because the hand looks strikingly similar to pocket aces.

That's what just happened to Bill Bostick in a hand against Scott Clements. Action folded around to Clements in the small blind, who slid his entire stack -- worth around 72,000 -- across the betting line. Bostick squeezed his cards privately, and then reenacted the squeeze face up to demonstrate to Clements what he thought he had.

Bostick folded, of course, and Clements stacked up the small pot, bringing him closer to 80,000 in chips.
