Diane Walker, Ahmed Karrim and Max Deveson limped in. Jehan Richards jammed for 27,000 in the small blind and Karrim was the only caller.
"I have aces," Karrim declared with a sheepish smile on the face. Richards showed his A♥3♥ first and Karrim then exposed the 3♦3♠. "I know you had a three, so it's like aces," he said.
"The hearts will come," Richards replied and the table burst out in laughter when the flop fell K♥J♦4♥. Karrim was hiding the runout from Richards as the rest of the table gasped to build up suspension. The 2♦ turn brought a gutshot and the 5♠ indeed came on the river.
Marc Grune then got it in against Karrim with A♣6♣ versus A♠7♠. They were chopping until the Q♦10♥8♠A♥ turn but the 6♥ river gave Grune the double, too.
Karrim then sucked out with 7♥6♣ against the 10♦9♣ of Alan Jung on a board of Q♠J♠4♣6♠3♥ and avoided losing a third all-in showdown in a row. Jung was left short and busted thereafter.
