Pechie Staying Alive

We found Justin Pechie moving all in from early position. He was fairly short stacked and looking to gain some chips any way he could, and things were looking like he might just steal the blinds, but that was before Belley Philippe acted. Philippe moved all in when action reached him, preventing any of the blinds from coming along for a flop. After everyone folded cards were flipped over.

Pechie: {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Philippe: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The cards came out {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and even though Philippe was able to hit an ace, it was irrelevant as that ace also gave Pechie the flush and the winning hand.
