Ace in the Window Isn't Enough for Alden

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

The table was still talking about a cooler hand that just previously occurred where pocket queens ran into pocket aces, not knowing they were about to witness another one. After a raise to 2,600 from the hijack, Edwin Alden shoved all in for just under 20,000 in the cutoff. Shinya Shimada was in the small blind and pushed all in over the top, getting the original raiser to fold.

Shinya Shimada: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Edwin Alden: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The dealer fanned the flop with the {a-Clubs} in the window. "No!" Shimada screamed, but it quickly turned into a "Yes!" when the {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} followed it. Alden hit his ace but Shimada flopped a set of kings, leaving Alden drawing extremely thin. The turn and river were no help and Alden headed for the exit doors as Shimada scooped the pot.
