Aces, Kings, and Queens
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sam Greenwood raised to 12,000 from under the gun and Sirzat Hissou three-bet to 34,000 on his left. Arnaud Mattern four-bet shoved all in for 127,000 in the cutoff and Joao Vieira also pushed all in for 146,000 on the button. The blinds folded as did Greenwood but Hissou called to put both players at risk.
Arnaud Mattern: 
Joao Vieira: 
Sirzat Hissou: 
The flop came 
and Mattern remained in a comfortable lead with his pocket aces. The 
hit the turn which changed nothing. Vieira pushed one of his kings toward the board as if to magnetize another one from the deck, but it was the 
on the river that allowed all three players to remain in the tournament.
