Patrick Mongrain Finds the Rockets at the Right Time

Action folded to Brian Jin and he raised all in for just under 20,000. Lars Mathieson moved all in from the button for approximately 30,000 and Patrick Mongrain called from the button. The players showed:

Jin: {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Mathieson: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Mongrain: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} and Mongrain's aces held. Jin and Mathieson were eliminated and Mongrain climbs to about 65,000 on the hand.
