Barley ten minutes into Day 3, we have already seen our first all-in confrontation. After Christopher Homan raised to 28,000 from middle position, Jacob Toole reraised all-in from the small blind, placing his last 150,000 or so chips at risk. Paul Nash decided to come over the top and four-bet for the rest of his stack. Homan got out of the way and the cards were revealed.
Showdown:
Nash: 
Toole: 
Toole was in a commanding position with the mother of all Hold'em hands, and Nash would need to catch lucky in order to score the knockout.
Flop: 
Catch lucky is exactly what Nash did, spiking top two-pair on the flop to take the lead. The turn card came 
and Nash was one card away from taking the chip lead.
River: 
With that, Nash's two-pair had been counterfeited by Toole's aces up. This double-up boosted Toole to 350,000 while Nash dropped to 430,000 with the runner-runner beat.
