There was an all-in preflop aces versus aces clash at Table 727, and we arrived for the aftermath. Andrey Zaichenko had {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Ryan Hughes had {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Though Hughes had the better side cards to make a high hand, both players were still playing their aces after {3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} hit the felt. However, it was the Russian who was playing a low combo of six-ace to take the low half, giving him three quarters.
