It's Nice to Get Aces Three-Handed

At Table #5, John Juanda raised to 9,500 from the small blind, Eric Froehlich reraised to 27,500 from the big blind, Juanda upped it to 50,000, Froehlich pushed all in, and Juanda called, putting 150,000 total in the middle.

Juanda {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Froehlich {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The flop was {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, so E-Fro was looking for a jack to knock out Juanda. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {10-Spades}, and Juanda doubled up to 310,000. Froehlich is down to 60,000. Meanwhile, Tim West has 230,000.
