Action was picked up in a three-bet involving three players, with roughly 8,500 in the pot and the board showing K♦9♠8♠.
After the flop, the small blind checked to the big blind Bill Backes who bet out 5,000. The player on the button folded, and the small blind called.
Both players checked after the K♠ on the turn, which brought the A♠. The small blind then checked to Backes, who bet out 10,000, which got a snap fold from the small blind to give the pot to Backes.
Action was picked up with Philip Boyd all in for his stack of 28,300, with the player on the button putting him at risk.
Philip Boyd: A♣A♥ 
Button: KxKx
It was the ultimate cooler as Boyd was poised for the double up. He did just that once the board ran out 10♥J♣8♦4♣6♣ and his pocket aces remained best.
