Al Riccobono just stopped by to let us know he's up to 55,000. According to him, a few players limped in, before one player moved all in for about 15,000. Riccobono moved all in over the top of the player for about 40,000 holding pocket aces. Everyone folded and Riccobono was heads up with the all-in player who held pocket queens.

Despite the flop coming down {J-?} {10-?} {9-?}, Riccobono's aces held up to give him the pot and the elimination.
