Aces All Around

You couldn't walk two metres during the last level without someone somewhere showing down the boots. George McKeever doubles up with them, aip vs. Queens. Carey Hollink can't call fast enough with them when Graeme Newman shoves preflop - although when Newman tables K-K Josh Tyler adds, "You're golden!" to her upon seeing the cooler. This lasts exactly until the river comes - and he binks the King. He doubles up to over 40k while a big chunk comes out of her steadily-growing stack.

Finally, Paul Kerr got involved with Luke Trotman thusly: With the board standing Ad-4c-6s-Ts Kerr checked and Trotman bet 5,200. He called. The river brought the Td. Slow, deliberate check from Kerr, with the same unhurried nonchalance with which he called the turn... this time Trotman checked behind - and I bet he's glad he did! Kerr tabled Ac-Ah; here he is pictured stacking that nice pot.
