A Good Time to Find Aces

There's never really a BAD time to look down and see two aces, but it's especially good when two players have already moved all in ahead of you.

That's the situation Thomas Middelthon found himself in after Alvan Silverberg pushed in all of his chips and Kao Saetern moved all in as well. Middelthon called with his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

, Saetern showed {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

, and Silverberg held {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

.

The

{8-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

didn't give his opponents even a glimmer of hope, and that massive hand propelled Middelthon's stack to 530,000.
