Tripp-ed Up by Aces

Action folded to "all in 2526" and he opened for 2,200, which was met with a three bet to 5,065 by Steve "betrthanphil" Tripp in the small blind. From there, the big blind got out of the way, all in 2526 four-bet to 11,000, Tipp five-bet to 21,485, and all in 2526 six-bet shoved. Tripp called off his remaining 29,181 and discovered the bad news.

Showdown
Tripp: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
all in 2526: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Just when things looked bleakest, the {Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop delivered Tripp salvation. Unfortunately for him, the {J-Hearts}{ turn and {10-Spades} river have all in 2526 the runner-runner straight, eliminating Tripp in brutal fashion.
