Tordjman Runs Into Aces Again
Level 18
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sofoklis Palekythritis had pushed his stack of 1,225,000 in preflop on the button and was looked up by Daniel Tordjman under the gun.
Sofoklis Palekythritis: A♦A♣9♠7♣ 
Daniel Tordjman: K♥K♣7♦6♥
"It's always aces," Tordjman noted. The 9♣8♥3♣ flop gave him a straight draw for some extra outs, but the J♠8♣ runout provided no extra help for the chipleader, doubling up Palekythritis.
