Aces No Good for Duthie

John Duthie limped in, as did small blind Noah Boeken. Markus Golser made it 1,600 from the big blind -- and then Duthie reraised him to 5,200, leaving himself maybe 7,000 behind. Boeken got out of the way faster than Snoopy heading for the buffet, and Golser gave him a funny look and called.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} flop, and indeed the {J-Diamonds} turn as well. Come the {5-Diamonds} river, Golser announced all in, was told he couldn't do that, and settled for a pot-sized bet, which either way covered Duthie. All of this happened very fast. Duthie chuckled, and folded {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} face up. Golser declined to show, but assured the table that his hand had been, "Really, really good."
