hero: AA
Raise and 4bet pre for value.
Flop slowplay the set since its really hard for villain to continue even w top hands like KK, QQ.
Turn just calls ip, keeping villain range wide and allowing him to eventually bluff river also.
River call. Not so many possible flushes on villains range, specially w the Ace of diamonds on the board.
I think she has AA.
checking behind on flop indicates she doesn't have a bluff because it's good flop for it. Calling both turn and river can be done with really strong hand so I will go with AA.
Pocket Aces.
Standard 4 bet preflop.
Slowplay flop and turn.
River calldown because it's unlikely villain has flush in 4betpot.
No one else has said it yet, so I will; J8dd!
Don't think it needs any explanation.
I think 4bet preflop = AA/KK.
Flop: Sara check's behind, it means she doesn't have AA. My guess is KK.

If you have QQ you have a very tough decision on the turn as to whether or not to continue as your 4bet bluffs are mostly Ace blockers meaning they now are > QQ, which means QQ can now fold more comfortably on the turn and you won't really be folding that much at all on the turn.
This means on the river KK is the nut bottom of your range or second bottom of your range if QQ called the turn.
You cannot justify calling by saying "Well, villain might have a missed flush draw", because that bluff would only be justified if you can actually get hero to fold KK and the like.
I am implicitly assuming that the hero would check back an appropriate amount when she has top pair or better here on the flop.
I've looked at the other hands and there are some questionable plays that may have been made there too, but arguing on those hands would really be a matter of opinion and there would be no way to prove or disprove anything.
With this hand though, because it's a 4bet pot, the hand ranges are so narrow you can clearly see what's going on on each street. It's as if villain thinks that the way the flop should be played is to bet the flop if you have top pair or better 100% of the time, check back and call the turn when you face a turn bet with both QQ and KK, and then river you have a 50% fold to bet.
So in other words, this hand was played correctly if you need to defend your range with KK, in which case villain needs to pray to god that you have QQ on the river (in which case a bluff makes a small +EV).
Yeah I'm totally not convinced at all about this river call with KK.
No way. Nice hand Sara, pretty good for 4 handed. Glad I didn't change my answer now

Especially when you have a calling station in the CO who already decided preflop she was never going to fold.
