FTP Ring: Cracking Aces

I know it's sick, but I love cracking aces. In this hand I was absolutely sure he had aces preflop, and the flop action made my feeling stronger. I only have one regret in this hand, although I haven't done the math, his stack probably wasn't big enough to justify the preflop call.

Notice the commentary afterwards... I love it.
