Hand from Borgata WPT

[smittyuiop]

So the claim is that there is no hand that he raises 6x from BB preflop, checks the flop, and just calls turn bet, therefore has to be an angle shoot with AA/KK. Why can't he have AQ or AJs? I can see both raising big to protect their hand preflop. On the flop he prob puts you both on some middle connected or paired cards so he could easily be going for pot control, induce bluff, WA/WB thing. Then when you lead he could be calling with showdown value and possibly draw to broadway or maybe flush draw too. Can't completely rule out AK, though i agree that he's less likely to slowplay AK than AA. Also on the turn i guess AK is too strong not to raise but not strong enough that he feels comfortable pulling funky [censored] like angle shooting, so I guess no AK. I guess AQ and AJ are too weak given your flop read, but he's already down to 18k so he clearly splashes around without the nuts.
