Ausmus Gets Aces First Hand

There was a raise in early position by Chris Klodnicki with K♥10♣. Action folded to Jeremy Ausmus on the button with A♥A♠ and he put in the three-bet. Although Klodnicki got out of the way quickly, his fold let Ausmus scoop the pot to become the new chip leader. He made a joking comment afterwards that "I said to myself whatever the first hand he opens, I'm gonna take the chip lead right away."

This was certainly made easier with aces.
