Nicholas Skyllas doubled up through Norman Rodriguez, with Skyllas moving up to 913,000 after besting Rodriguez in an ace-king versus ace-queen battle on an ace-high board.

The following hand saw Frank Funaro open raise from the button, Rodriguez three-bet shove from the small blind for 456,000, and Funaro call.

Norman Rodriguez: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Frank Funaro: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Board: {3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Rodriguez went down and then back up in consecutive hands with ace-queen, as Table 21 continues to have plenty of action.
