Nielsen Has Aces Cracked In Battle of the Blinds
Playing out of the blinds is always a tricky affair but your decisions are usually made easier when you pick up pocket aces there, especially when you are in the big blind and your small blind opponent has opened with a raise, like just happened to Martin Nielsen.
As mentioned, the action folded around to Konstantinos Christou in the small blind and he raised to 3,500. Nielsen check his cards before three-betting to 8,600. Christou paused for 20-30 second before making the call.
The dealer burned a card before fanning out the 
flop. Christou checked to his opponent who bet 9,300. Christou announced he was all in for around 35,000 but he cannot have been happy when Nielsen snap-called him.

Nielsen: 
Nielsen was way ahead both preflop and on the flop but when the 
hit the turn that completely changed and he was now drawing to the two remaining aces. The river was the 
and with that Nielsen was cleft with just 3,600 chips
