Snitsar Triples Up with Aces vs. Kings vs. Queens

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The hijack opened to 8,000 and Stanislav Snitsar raised to 23,500 on the button. Steven Jones, with a stack of 210,000, went all-in from the small blind.

The hijack called for his 107,000-chip stack and Snitsar also put his 125,000 in chips into the middle.

Hijack: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Stanislav Snitsar: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Steven Jones: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} put Snitsar way out in front and his aces would hold as the board ran out {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Snitsar, who finished in eighth place in Event #11: $600 Deep Stack for $40,378, is now making another fantastic Day 2 run.
