A player in the hijack moved all in for 28,000 and Yaser Al-Keliddar called in the small blind. "Aces. Just kidding," Al-Keliddar said.

"Don't give me a heart attack," his opponent replied.

Yaser Al-Keliddar: A♣9♣

"First two face cards I've seen in like three hours," the at-risk player said going to the flop, which came Q♣9♥3♥. The turn was the 7♣, while Al-Keliddar made a flush on the 6♣ river to send his opponent to the rail.

Craig Delisle three-bet to 24,000 on the button before Chunyu Yang moved all in for 83,000 in middle position. Delisle snap-called.

Craig Delisle: A♦A♠

Delisle had woken up with aces and was poised for a knockout as Yang stood helplessly by the table to await his fate. The 10♦5♥4♥J♦4♦ board offered no help, and he was sent to the rail.
