Kings Cripple Aces

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We weren't able to catch how the betting went, but we know that Steve Schlesinger and another player got all the chips in the middle preflop with Schlesinger at risk holding the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} against the other player's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

Luckily for Schlesinger, the flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} boosting him into the lead and leaving the player with aces with only a couple of chances at redemption. The turn and river were the {q-Spades} and {7-Clubs} and Schlesinger doubled to around 54,000 while the other player was left with a mere 300 in chips and was eliminated soon afterward.
