Aces Don't Always Win

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.
