A Good Time For Aces

Pocket Aces are always welcome, but especially so when you've lost a few big hands and are badly short-stacked. Gus Hansen just looked down at bullets and moved in the last of his 389,000. Ryan Elson called with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and, after the {7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop and {4-Clubs} on the turn, he picked up a flush draw. Elson was bouncing up and down by the table calling "One more club!", and on the river...the {4-Spades}. Gus saw the black card and hung his head for a moment before scooping in a pot that lifted him back to 1 million. Elson is down to 2 million.
