The Best Starting Hand in Hold'em

We've just seen pocket aces cracked again by {A-}{x-}, in this case allowing Ronny Schenk to survive.

Schenk was all in with his super short stack with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} against Frank Calo's {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}, but when the board came {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, Schenk had a flush and new life.
