Lonis Runs Queens into Aces

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

Jesse Lonis opened and Eelis Parssinen three-bet to 24,000. Ian Matakis called from the big blind and Lonis four-bet to pot which was just short of his remaining 106,000 stack, and Parssinen five-bet covering Lonis's remaining change and Matakis got out of the way, leaving the pair to go to showdown with Lonis at risk.

Jesse Lonis: AQQ8All in
Eelis Parssinen: AA94

Lonis was looking to improve on his pair of queens, but the 1054 flop wasn't enough to help him.

A 7 was turned which didn't change much, and he also missed on the 10 river, seeing to his elimination in this High Roller event.
