{10-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

and called by {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

. The player with ace-queen emerged victorious by hitting running aces on the turn and river. Dicken is out.

At the other side of the room, Bryan Colin creseted the 100,000-chip mark by raising to 900 preflop, then moving all in when a short stack reraised to 3,000. The short stack called all in for about 12,000 with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

. Colin had the tens, {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}
