AA vs KK vs QQ

We were just coming into the tournament room after the break when we saw that something big was going on at table 24. And big it was. Pocket aces, pocket kings and pocket queens were all lying on the table face up with the board reading {Q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. The "all-in" button that dealers use was there as well meaning someone's tournament's life was at stake.

As it turned out the aces belonged to Mike Watson who had to give away a large portion of his chips to Salvatore Salzano, who was the one holding pocket queens. The big looser here was Fausto Cheli, who's stack wasn't big enough to cover Salzano bringing his tournament to an end.
