Muhammad Abdel Rahim raised to 4,000 from the cutoff before Nick Maimone three-bet to 14,000 from the button with around 60,000 behind. Shaneil Stokes jammed from the big blind, which got Rahim to fold, but Maimone called for the remainder of his stack.
Nick Maimone: A♣K♥ 
Shaneil Stokes: K♣K♠
Stokes was ahead with his Cowboys, and Maimone needed an ace to stay alive. The board ran out Q♥5♦4♦2♦9♣, keeping Stokes ahead the entire way. Maimone headed to the rail and Stokes moved back up over the starting stack.
