The Ace From Space

Mark Sloane

On a board reading Diamond 8Club 4Heart 3Spade 3, Mark Sloane leads out for 10,500, and his opponent in the cutoff goes all in for 17,000. Sloane thinks about it for a moment and eventually calls.

The cutoff says, “I’ve got kings”, and Sloane responds, “Kings are good.” The cutoff tables Spade KClub K, and as Sloane is turning over Spade ASpade K, the Club A hits the river and he says, “Kings were good until that (the ace) came.”

 

Sloane rivers a pair of aces and sends his opponent to the rail.

Mark Sloane – 80,000 (80 bb)
