Championship Event
The sample size is very small, we don't witness every hand played or even see the winning cards if there is no show down, but pockets aces do not seem to be holding up very well in Day 1b.
In addition to the double cracked AA by Mike Castaldo, Moran Michilovich tells the tale of her shortstack situation. She bet her pocket aces all the way down to the river only to have her opponent make 7's up on the river with the almighty seven-trey. Before the table broke, another player found himself all-in with his AA dominating KK. The player holding the pocket kings complained about his luck running into cooler, until the dealer peeled off a king on the flop. Michilovich is sitting at her new table with around 14,000 in chips.
With 20 minutes left in Level 5, there are just over 600 players remaining in Day 1b. Average chip stack is around 34,000. Level 6 blinds will be 150-300 with 200 ante.
