Cracked Aces Spell End for Mikek and Chisu
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In a pot of 55,000, Salman Ramzi checked from the hijack to Simon Mikek on the button, who bet 25,000 on the Q♠2♦K♥ flop.
Ramzi then min-raised to 50,000, after which Mikek shoved all in for roughly 110,000. Ramzi snap-called with the covering stack.
Simon Mikek: A♠A♣ 
Salman Ramzi: K♦K♣
Ramzi had flopped top set for a big lead over Mikek's aces. The 4♠ turn and 9♣ river failed to provide Mikek with a miracle ace, and he was sent to the rail a few spots before the money.
Over at another table, Danut Chisu got his last 90,000 or so in preflop from early position against Tsugunari Toma in the big blind.
Danut Chisu: A♠A♣
Tsugunari Toma: 10♠10♦
Toma made a set on the 3♦10♣2♠Q♥J♦ runout to crack Chisu's aces and leave him empty-handed.
