Cruz Runs into Aces

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Saul Sarabia Cruz
Saul Sarabia Cruz

Saul Sarabia Cruz, Tribikya Thapa and Steve Sparks and all committed 18,000 prior to the Q♥K♥8♥ flop, where Sparks checked in the small blind.

Cruz slid 80,000 chips forward, leaving just a single big blind behind. Thapa moved his larger stack all in, and Sparks got out of the way. Cruz called his last few chips, and the hands were revealed.

Saul Sarabia Cruz: K♣Q♦ All in
Tribikya Thapa: A♥A♦

Cruz was ahead after flopping two pair, but the 8♣ turn paired the board to send Thapa back in front. The 5♥ river changed nothing, as Cruz was sent to the rail.
