Vojtech Ruzicka opened on the button and Nick Schulman defended out of the big blind.

Both players checked on the flop of {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Schulman led out with a bet of 16,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn. Ruzicka called.

Schulman sized down to 11,000 when the {k-Spades} peeled off on the river and Ruzicka slid his cards into the muck.

Aces Versus Tens in the Blinds

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 10,000 and Arian Stolt three-bet to 45,000. Steve Yea then jammed in his stack of 286,000 in the big blind. The cutoff folded and Stolt thought about it and called.

Steve Yea: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Arian Stolt: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Yea found a good time to pick up rockets and he held as the board ran out {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} to keep him in front and get him to nearly ten times the starting stack as the bubble starts to get closer.
