A player in early position raised to 800 before Doug Ficken three-bet to 3,000 in the hijack. Miles Barnum called on the button, while the early-position player then four-bet to 13,000. Ficken came back with an all-in shove for 31,000.
Barnum took a few minutes before folding, while the early-position player also went deep into the tank until he also gave up his hand.
"That's the best hand we've played. I can't believe we didn't get to a showdown," Barnum said.

"Cooler. Ace-king against ace-queen. Ace on the flop, queen on the turn," Robert Hawkenberry said about how he had recently eliminated tablemate Tim Hughes on his way to a stack of around 70,000.
