Robbins Doubles through Ward

This one may not have been an Internet hand but it was definitely a cooler. The action was opened for 195,000 from early position before Jamie Robbins called from the small blind. That call prompted Joe Ward to re-raise an additional 850,000, folding the early-position player. With action back to Robbins, he moved all in for 3.645 million total. Ward shrugged and said, "I call."

Ward: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Robbins: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}

Once again it was kings for Ward, but this time he wasn't up against queens and jacks -- he was up against aces. And it was the aces, not the kings, that flopped a companion on a flop of {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. Ward was dead to running kings. He didn't get them.

New counts:

Ward - about 6 million
Robbins - about 7.5 million
