Peterson Runs into Aces, then A-2

Earlier Lasse Peterson ran his A-Q into pocket aces. This time around, Peterson was all in preflop with two other players; Thomas Gabriel and Chris Coghlan. Peterson held {J-Spades} {A-Spades}, Thomas held {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}, and Coghlan held {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades}.

Coghlan was thrilled when he spiked a deuce on the flop, though neither Peterson nor Gabriel were too amused when they couldn't catch up. Peterson was eliminated, while Gabriel is down to 315,000.
