It all started when Jacob Gagnon raised to 1,000 from late position and both the button and Jon Peck, from the big blind, made the call.

The flop came out 4♣4♠2♥ and action checked to the button who bet 1,100. Peck then raised to 5,000 and after Gagnon called the button folded.

The turn was 10♦ and Peck bet 9,000 all in. Gagnon made the call and both players turned over their hands.

Jon Peck: A♣Q♣4♥3♦ All in
Jacob Gagnon: A♦5♣4♦3♠

They were already chopping with trip fours, ace kicker, then the A♥ on the river gave both players fours full of aces, delivering a chopped pot.
