Aynsley Shoved On Preflop "Because It's Me!"
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
Zac Aynsley has just received a near double-up, busting Paul Kirkham in the process. After a mid-position open to 900, Kirkham flat called on the button and Aynsley three-bet out of the big blind to 6,400. The original raiser asked, "What do I get if I knock him out?" and folded when it turned out the answer was "nothing."
Kirkham, however, jammed for 34,500 and Aynsley snap-called.
Aynsley: 
Kirkham: 
The flop brought a queen, but no further danger; Aynsley scooped a huge pot and as his table discussed the preflop shove, Aynsley, sporting a PokerStars patch, said, "It's because it's me. He thinks I'm trying to steal it with three-six or something!"
