Two D'aram Hands

Omaha -

From the cutoff seat, Thibaud D'aram opens the action with a raise to 4,000. Action is passed to Kenneth Fitzgerald, and he re-raises from the small blind, making it 11,500 to play. D'aram moves all in over the top, and Fitzgerald makes the call. The hands are turned up:

Fitzgerald: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
D'aram: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {3-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

The board misses D'aram, as it runs out {2-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {7-Spades} {J-Hearts}. He thinks he is eliminated, and starts to walk away. When the stacks are counted down though, he is called back and given his last 1,500 chips to continue playing with.

On the very next hand, Max Pescatori and Zachary Hyman get all their chips in along with D'aram. When the dust settled, Pescatori's hand, {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, made a straight, and eliminated both of his opponents from the field.
