Napierala tabled , and his opponent showed pocket aces.
The turn was the and the river was the , sending the pot Napierala's way with two pair and his opponent to the rail.

As expected, when a player gets aces or kings, they typically try and get all of their money in the middle as soon as they can!
This is true for both Mike 'The Mayor' Rellinger and Brian Bordinaro.
Rellinger held while Bordinaro tabled , while being the player at risk for his last 30,700.
The flop came , which was fairly benign for Rellinger. The turn was a safe , but the river was the , causing the table to erupt.
The chips went to Bordinaro and Rellinger said, "I'm glad you only had 30,000. He had a Sabres jersey on, too. How perfect was that?"
