Another Two Down in Quick Succession

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Julien Martini recalled a hand in which his {a-}{q-} prevailed against fellow short stack Sylvestre Ceccaldi, who failed to get there with {a-}{j-} when both players made trips aces on the board.

One table over, Josip Simunic pushed a short stack of 72,000 with the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} in the cutoff and was called by Marcelo Simoes on the button with the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

Simunic wished for his partner on the rail to keep the fingers crossed and asked for low cards. However, the {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} board contained the dreadful ace and eliminate the former handball player.
