Aces x 3

$300 + $50 NL

In a span of one minute we see pocket aces three times. First David Arpino (Long Island, NY) raises to 7k and then calls a 28k button shove.

Arpino's A♠ A♦ hold vs J♥ J♦ as he takes his stack to 82k.

Before the pot's even pushed to Arpino, there's heavy action one table over.

The betting is: 3k, raise to 6,800, 4 bet to 14k, 5 bet shove for 40k total. It folds around to
Glenn Cole (Centerville, MD) who made the 4 bet and he calls with A♣ A♠.

Venkat Pasham (Sayreville, NJ) shows A♦ A♥ and a chop is imminent, until a third club comes on the turn and Pasham has to dodge the flush. "That would've been a terrible way to go out," he says after the harmless 9♥ hits the river.

Level 10 (600/1,200/200 ante) is the last level before dinner.
