Aaron Massey Ain't Scared of No Scare Card

We saw Aaron Massey proudly sporting his "Big Cock Poker" patch (obviously referencing the regal male rooster), making a preflop raise to 325 from under the gun.

He was called in one spot, and when the flop fell {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{a-Spades}, Massey check-called a bet of 350. Both players tapped the table on the {2-Spades} turn, and again when the {7-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Massey rolled over {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and his pair was good enough for the win.

"That's the second time today I've had kings on an ace-high flop," said Massey while he dragged the pot. "I had queens too, and the flop came ace-king high."

Obviously the presence of a scare card does not bother the experienced tournament grinder, and he won this pot in a spot where many amateurs might allow themselves to be pushed off.
