Don't let the title mislead you. When we say he was eliminated with quads aces, we mean in his hand. That's right, six-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner and poker legend Jay Heimowitz got his short stack in holding and was up against Richard Ashby.
We didn't get a look at Ashby's cards, but we do know he won after the board ran out . With that, a poker legend walked out of the Brasilia Room and into the halls of the World Series of Poker.
