After the dealer fanned a flop of 
across the felt, a player in the small blind decided to lead out for 1,150, only to see Bill Kridle raise it up to 3,900.
Kridle's opponent tanked for about 30 seconds or so, before suddenly announcing himself all in and moving about 21,500 into the middle. With the action back on him, Kridle shrugged just a bit and announced the call, revealing 
and asking the dealer to pair the board. Although he had flopped top set, Kridle rightfully feared a made flush or a club draw, but his opponent could only muster the 
for an overpair in red cards.
Kridle was a bit surprised to learn he needed to fade only two outs, and when the turn (
) and river (
) brought no ladies to the party, Kridle scored the huge double.
"I folded pocket aces there..." said Todd Echols. "Two red aces, couldn't call it though."
Echols' supremely disciplined call was impressive to say the least, but as poker can do so often, the right move was not met with a just reward. His set of aces on the river would've sent the day's biggest pot to Echols, but despite the what-could-have-been moment, he was simply happy to still have a stack in play.
