No Better Feeling Than Having Aces

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800

After a middle-position open, Le Nam three-bet from the small-blind. The Japanese Koichi Kono came in hot with a cold four-bet to 12,800. The open raiser folded and Le Nam put in a five-bet to 30,300. Kono thought about it for quite some time and eventually decided on a call.

The flop came out low, as it showed 8♥ 3♠ 3♣ , and Nam could not have acted any faster when moving all-in covering Kono. Kono did make the call, deciding his hand is too strong.

Koichi Kono: T♥ T♣

Le Nam: A♣ A♥

Kono was in big trouble, only a ten could have saved his tournament life. But the turn and river brought the 9♥ and J♠ and Kono had to pack his bags, while Le Nam is sitting with a sizeable stack now.
