Whenever two players find aces in the hole while their stacks are short or shrinking, the money usually moves into the middle quite quickly. So when Amanda Musumeci and Bob Hwang both woke up with ace-high hands, an all-in confrontation seemed all but preordained.

Sure enough, Hwang open-jammed for his last 585,000 or so holding {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and when the action folded around to her in the big blind, Musumeci snapped the bet off with her {A-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

The final board ran out clean for Musumeci's queen kicker, coming {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} to send Hwang to the rail for a $3,385 haul, while sending Musumeci's stack up over the 1.75 million mark.
