Aces Up Good for Sharif
Terry Patten raised to 300 from early position and received calls from [Removed:321] Sharif in middle position as well as the player in the hijack. The player on the button three-bet to 1,800 and action then folded to Ben Hamilton in the big blind, who confirmed the amount before making the call. Patten, Sharif, and the hijack call called as well and the dealer announced five players would be seeing the flop.
The flop fell 
and Hamilton checked. Patten led out for 1,000 and was called by all four players except the hijack.
The turn came 
and Hamilton checked again. Patten fired a bet of 1,000 again and was raised to 2,000 from Sharif. Action folded back around to Patten and he made the call, taking action heads up to the river 
where both remaining players checked.
Sharif tabled 
and Patten confirmed that was better than his hand as he sent his cards to the muck and Sharif raked in the pot.
