On Wednesday, PokerStrategy.com coach Jackson "chenny8888" Zheng was the last man standing in the AU$550 Event #17 at the 2012 Aussie Millions.
Aces get the spotlight
Our coach got to the final table with a massive stack but unfortunately lost approximately 2/3 of it when his A-K went against an opponent's A-A.
When the tournament was down to three players, pocket aces played a big part in another important pot. The said hand saw chenny8888 folding the aces on a board reading 
, only to see his opponent Adrian Gravelle show T-9.
Regarding this hand, chenny8888 said:
"I think he has T-8 and 9-7 there every single time, I don't expect a tight passive fish (which he was, preflop at least) to ever bluff there. I don't even know if he knew he was bluffing. I think he does, but he doesn't really expect me to fold better hands either, nothing better than J-J at least."

Soon after this hand, it was all over, as Gravelle shoved his remaining stack in the middle holding

and our coach took the golden ring. Congratulations, chenny8888!
