Alex Findlay and a short stacked player got all their chips in preflop with Findlay's 
trailing the all-in player's 
. Trailing, that is, until the flop came 
giving Findlay a pair of aces and the lead. The turn and river brought the 
and 
and Findlay sent the other player to the rail.
After the hand Findlay had around 290,000 in his stack.

A player in middle position raised to 14,000 and Kien Tieu re-raised all in. The other player took a couple of minutes before deciding to call and found he was in a classic coinflip situation with Tieu.
Tieu:
Opponent:
The flop came out an uneventful 
, but when the hit on the turn Tieu let out a loud whoop and ran away from the table in excitement. The 
on the river changed nothing and Tieu doubled his stack to around 240,000.

We missed the preflop action but got the scoop from a player at the table. According to him, Alex Findlay raised in the cutoff and was three-bet by Paulus Valkenburg in the small blind. Then Erik Lemarquand shoved for 180,000 in the big blind, Findlay reshoved for 310,000 and Valkenburg called all in for 184,000 as the players turned up their hands.
Findlay: 
Valkenburg:
Lemarquand:
Lemarquand had a chance to crack not one but two pairs of aces. We didn’t catch the board but know that Lemarquand turned an inside-straight draw which he wasn’t able to complete on the river and was eliminated while the other two players split his chips.
