Shortly after losing an all in with {a-Spades}{6-Spades} and doubling up Stephen Wells, Buddy Villaluz got all in with {10-Spades}{9-Spades} against the {a-}{a-} of Medhat Ramzy.

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} and Villaluz made a flush.

"I told you. Those were ace crackers," said Villaluz.

"What are you even doing here?" Medhat Ramzy said, "what are you like thirty nine."

"Fake i-d."

Meanwhile, Diana Shamshoum has an almost 200,000 chip lead over the rest of the field with 17 remaining.
