Aces All Over the Shop

When the betting goes bananas preflop, Aces are often part of a hand which wants it all in and heads up without having to break into another rebuy lammer anyway if it doesn't work out postflop. Occasionally they're up against the same hand with some other potential (there's always other potential in Omaha), like when Richard Ashby's {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} took on Brian Powell's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{7-Clubs} earlier on. This brought no favouring suit which would have been interesting, killing most excitement with the {2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and chopping the pot thereafter.

Elsewhere Willie Tann found it incredible that Mr. Kristoffersen opposite him kept, apparently, picking up the Aces - as he got it in preflop vs. Nikolay Evdakov (who didn't have Aces) and doubled up, Tann repeated: "Every time I see your hand, it's Aces! Aces, Aces, Aces!" before finishing with a definitive, "Aces, huh," as Kristoffersen stacked his (smallish) double through.
