When Image Backfires

Vivek Rajkumar has been splashing around a lot lately, so it was natural that when he re-raised from the small blind following a late position raise, that the player in the big blind looked down at {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and decided it was the best hand.

The big blind moved all in for 28,000, the late position player folded, but Rajkumar snap-called with his {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

However the board favored the brave, as it fell {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to give the BB player a pair of aces and the apologetic double up.

Rajkumar slips back to 75,000 chips.
