| Will Reich (Branford, CT) doesn't mind seeing a player shove over his open when he's holding pocket aces. |
There really aren't many "bad times" for pockets aces, but right before registration closes for a flight could be considered one of the "perfect times." Will Reich (Branford, CT) opened the action with a raise to 1,500, followed by a call from an unknown player on the button. The small blind then released his hand, leaving Jacquelyn Scott to act (in the big blind). Scott collected her chips in one hand, and simultaneously announced herself all-in, as she dropped the pile of chips on the felt.
"Alright...I'm all-in too," Will Reich said aloud, having both active players in the hand covered. The button folded his hand, and Scott would be at risk. Things looked pretty bleak for Scott after she saw her A♣ Q♦ up against the A♥ A♠ of Reich, with the K♥ 8♠ 8♣ flop leaving only hopes of running queens to keep her in the flight. The turn would have Scott drawing dead, and she would exit the table, while Reich stacked up his newfound chips (worth over 55,000).
"A perfect time for aces," a player said to Will, who just looked over with a smile.
Players are heading on their second break of the day (at the end of this level), and will return to new blinds of 400/800/100 (Level 9). Once the cards are in the air for Level 9, registration will officially be closed for Flight 1C.
