Aces, Aces Everywhere

Andrew Meldrum is out. Short of chips, he pushed all in preflop with pocket nines and ran into another player's pocket aces. That player promptly flopped a full house, {A-?} {5-?} {5-?}. There was no miracle of running fives or running nines for Meldrum.

Sam Faqiryar also took a small hit to his stack. He got all in preflop with pocket jacks against a short stack who turned over pocket aces. Aces held up to lower Faqiryar's stack to about 28,000.
