Dong's Kings Cracks Aces
Level 3
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A middle position limper quickly got out of the way once Nelson Dong and Amir Farazmand engaged in a raising war. After getting both stacks into the middle, the cards were revealed with Dong at risk.
Nelson Dong: K♠K♣ 
Amir Farazmand: A♠A♥
The classic cooler was set to see Dong eliminated for a second time on the day, but he was able to find a set on the 5♦K♦10♣ flop. The 10♦ turn improved his holding to a full house, while Farazmand missed on the 8♠ river and Dong doubled up.
