Aces Get Eights This Time

In Level 35 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000, the very next hand after "NAAAARD" doubled saw "gtl666" open to 240,000 in the hijack and call a three-bet shove to 875,000 from "LelandGaunt38", who was in the small blind.

"LelandGaunt38": {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
"gtl666": {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

For the second straight hand, pocket aces and pocket eights got all in. This time, however, stacks got in preflop with aces ahead and they remained there through the runout {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades} to earn the double for "LelandGaunt38".

"NAAAARD": {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

"TegridyFarm$"
"TegridyFarm$"

In Level 32 with blinds of 25,000/50,000 and an ante of 6,250, "TegidyFarm$" shoved for 429,000 under the gun and saw "uwillmiss" re-shove for 628,000 in the hijack. All remaining players folded.

"TegidyFarm$": {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
"uwillmiss": {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

"TegidyFarm$" did not want to see an overpair and they equally as much did not want to see a flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. They were then left needing to hit running straight outs to double or running clubs to chop, the former of which remained a possibility on the turn {4-Hearts}. Unfortunately for them, the river {10-Spades} bricked and they were eliminated in ninth place as a result.
