Cimbolas Runs Into Aces
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Matas Cimbolas jammed for 15,300 from the hijack. Dimitri Steinfeuer in the cutoff called, but Luis Faria on the button four-bet all in. The blinds folded, as well as Steinfeuer, who revealed the 8♣ by mistake. He later said that he had pocket eights.
Matas Cimbolas: J♠10♠ 
Luis Faria: A♦A♠
The dealer fanned a board of 4♦6♥9♠9♣2♣, which was no help for Cimbolas, who was eliminated.
