Yao Finds a King to Crack Moser's Aces
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Bixi Yao had her stack of 150,000 in the middle with the second-best starting hand in all of No-Limit Hold'em, but ran into the one hand she didn't want to see.
Bixi Yao: K?K? 
Andreas Moser: A?A?
"One time," uttered Yao.
Those magic words must have worked as Yao did improve to a set on the K?7?6? flop to take the lead. An ace is what Moser needed to find but he couldn't do it as the Q?9? runout left him with around six big blinds.
