San Juan Rides Aces Back Into Contention
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jon San Juan had increased his stack back up to 18,000 after losing the all in to Gaspare Triolo earlier and moved all in again from early position. A player in the big blind called to put him at risk.
Jon San Juan: A♣A♠ 
Opponent: A♥Q♠
San Juan had picked up aces and was a big favorite to double up as the flop came J♥6♠4♥. The K♥ turn gave his opponent a straight draw, but San Juan held on through the 8♦ river to secure the pot and stay alive.
