He was down to just 7,000, barely enough to pay the big blind, and lost with A-J when Randy Haddox made a set of deuces to beat both Gabriel and Michael Banducci's pocket kings.

Play has slowed down a bit and we've just started a 20-minute break. The floor announced that they'll be coloring up and racing off the black chips, and Daniel Negreanu just leapt from his table and raced out of the room.

Aces Don't Always Win

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

[user37786]

Several times today players have run pocket kings into aces, and on each occasion the bullets won. But the percentages say that sometimes the kings will prevail, and unfortunately for Sam Simon those percentages came into play in a hand he lost to Vachagan Zakarian. All the money went in before the flop, Simon rolled over A-A to Zakarian's K-K, and a king spiked on the flop to turn the tables. That hand dropped Simon to 40,000.
