Pace Crippled and then Triples

Rocco Pace was crippled by Yan Chen after running his {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} into Chen's {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}.

Chen called Pace's all-in on a flop of {7-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. The turn and river brought no help for Pace, with the {6-Clubs} and {3-Diamonds} dropping.

After the hand Chen moved up to over 95,000 while Pace was crippled and left with 13,000.

Only a few hands later, however, Pace tripled up against Remy Biechel's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Theo Tran's {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} when his {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} topped both his opponents on a {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} board.

With that triple-up Pace moved up 41,000 in chips.
