Back to Back Aces

While we were getting names and chip counts just before, we couldn’t help but catch some crazy hands as well. In one of those hands, we found three players all in preflop.

Genefredo Legaspi: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Jorge Arriola: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Robbie Verspui: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

We didn’t catch the board but neither players with queens caught a straight or flush meaning Legaspi eliminated Arriola and doubled off Verspui.

We were also told that in the previous hand, Legaspi had asked the dealer for aces and had doubled up against the {A-}{Q-} of Jonas Mackoff.
