Van Gent's Aces Send Michalak Home

Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Cornelis Van Gent opened the cutoff to 80,000 and Jakub Michalak launched his stack of around 400,000 into the middle from the big blind. Van Gent snap-called.
Jakub Michalak: A?10?
Cornelis Van Gent: A?A?
Michalak was in a world of pain and needed to find some backdoor action when the flop fell J?8?3?. A Q? did open up some of those backdoor opportunties, but the 4? on the river swiftly closed them, ending Michalak's run.
