Mikkelsen Runs Kings Into Aces

Jeppe Mikkelsen opened with a raise to 57,000 before Marco Johnson moved all in from the cutoff. The blinds folded and Mikkelsen quickly called with pocket kings but Johnson showed pocket aces!

The board fell {8-?}{9-?}{9-?}{5-?}{J-?} and Johnson's aces hold to jump to over 600,000 and send an unfortunate Mikkelsen to the rail.
