De Bakker's Turn with the Aces

Koen de Bakker was dealt the second pair of aces at Orange 308, and used them to maximum effect for a double-up. He opened to 37,000 pre-flop. Action passed to Frank Rusnak in the blinds, who squeezed his cards and then shoved on the shorter de Bakker. de Bakker snapped called and opened his {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, which was up against the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} of Rusnak. An ace on the turn of a {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} board ended the hand. Rusnak had to pay off 243,000 to de Bakker, and dropped to 650,000 as a result.
