David Shaw opened to 7,000 and was called by Gary Horn, but then Edward Sebesta three-bet to 25,000. Shaw thought for a few moments before he decided on a call, and Horn tossed out the additional chips as well.
On the flop 6♠K♠8♦ the action checked to Sebesta who moved all in and Shaw called to put him at risk while Horn folded.
Sebesta quickly tabled A♥A♠ while Shaw tabled K♥Q♥ and needed to improve.
The board ran out J♥7♦ for Sebesta's aces to hold and he was awarded the pot for double while Shaw was left relatively short.

After an open by Mark Pertgen, Eunice Choung moved all in and short-stacked Terance 'Tino' Perez pushed in his stack for less.
Pertgen decided to get out of the way while Choung and Perez tabled their hands.
Terance Perez: A♣K♥
Eunice Choung: 8♠8♥
"Well that's a really good flop for you," Perez remarked as the flop came out 4♣7♦4♠.
"And that's a GREAT turn for me!" Perez exclaimed as it fell the A♠ to give him the lead. The river was the 7♠ to secure his win and he was pushed the pot for a much-needed double.
