McCoy Cracks Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jeffrey Hong opened to 1,500 from the hijack, and Manuel Ruivo made the call on his left. Benjamin McCoy then three-bet to 6,000 on the button before James Tsou four-bet to 17,500 in the small blind.
Hong and Ruivo got out of the way, and McCoy moved all in for 28,900. Tsou called instantly, and the cards were turned up.
Benjamin McCoy: J♠J♣ 
James Tsou: A♠A♥
McCoy slid his bounty chip forward before spiking a set on the 5♥3♥J♥ flop. Tsou could not find an ace or a heart on the rest of the 7♠Q♣ runout, as McCoy survived and doubled up.
