Philipp Gruissem is now down to 18,400 in chips after running into an opponent's pocket aces.

Gruissem's opponent opened with a standard raise from under-the-gun and when the action reached Gruissem in the big blind, he moved all in, in an apparent attempt to push his opponent off his hand. Not so much. Gruissem's opponent made the call with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

and Gruissem tabled {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

.

The board then ran out {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and the aces held, knocking Gruissem down below the 20,000 starting stack.
