Huynh's Cowboys Find Help Versus Aces

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Aleksandr Merzhvinskii was all in preflop with his short stack and Ken Huynh and Rafael Arango built a side pot and went to the flop.

The flop was {5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Huynh got the rest of his chips in against Arango.

Aleksandr Merzhvinskii: {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Ken Huynh: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Rafael Arango: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Huynh ran into a classic cooler but soon found himself on the right side of the cooler as the {k-Diamonds} hit the felt on the turn and he could only say "Oh my goodness".

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board to confirm the aces getting cracked and to confirm Merzhvinskii's elimination.
