Korik Doubles With Quad Aces, Still Short

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

John Hennigan, known as "Johnny World" because he'll bet on anything in the world according to his Wikipedia entry, opened up to 525 from mid position. Online superstar Zachary Korik moved all in for just 1,700 from the small blind and received a quick call from initial-raiser Hennigan.

Korik showed the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and needed his hand to hold up against Hennigan's {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. After the flop Korik was sure to double-up with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The {A-Clubs} on the turn made his hand even better, although he didn't need it. Hennigan shouted "Four f*cking aces? Fuck man!" One of the players at the table replied that the {7-Hearts} on the river had given him a fullhouse, making the situation even more a "set-up". All laughed as Hennigan could easily miss the mere 1,700 it costed him to double up Korik.
