Phelan Hits Quad Aces to Triple Up
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Conal Prendergast kicked off the action with a raise to 10,000 in middle position. Lewis Rookyard flat-called in middle position, and table chipleader Florian Bock came along on the button.
David Phelan then pushed in his stack of 53,000 from the big blind, seeing Prendergast rejam for about 500,000. Rookyard snap-called his stack of 125,000 in the middle, prompting Bock to get out of the way and muck his cards.
David Phelan: A♥A♦ 
Lewis Rookyard: K♠K♥
Conal Prendergast: 8♥8♦
Phelan's aces flopped top set on A♣5♣7♦ and improved to quads on the A♠ turn. Rookyard stayed alive by winning the side pot when the 9♥ river did not bring an eight, while Phelan tripled up by shipping the main pot.
