Harvey Finds an Ace... To No Avail

Two players limped into the pot, and action came to Martin Harvey on the button. He bumped it up to 4,000, and Michael Palti re-raised to 13,000 from the small blind. The rest of the table folded, and Harvey put in the call, moving the rest of his chips all-in.

Showdown:
Harvey: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Palti: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Salvation came for Harvey straight away as he found an ace on a flop of {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs}. The turn was the {6-Hearts}. Unfortunately for him, Palti managed to re-draw to the lead, plucking the two-out {K-Spades} off the deck to make triple kings. He eliminated Martin Harvey and moved up over 20,000.
