Savard Crushes Cheung With Aces

Level 13 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jean-Pascal Savard and Robert Cheung were all in preflop. Savard had {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} which crushed Cheung's {a-}{k-}. The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}. There was confusion on who had more chips. The supervisor was called over and they counted each stack five times over. At the end it was decided that Savard had Cheung covered by 75 chips and with that Cheung was eliminated. Savard went back up to 59,000.
