Aces Hold for Huge Triple Up

In early position, the table's biggest stack opened with a raise, and Alexis Belanger-Lebel flatted. Another player, who had been waiting patiently for a spot for several hours, moved all in. Not intimidated by the guy's sudden aggression, the original raiser then over-shoved with his large stack. Belanger-Lebel quickly called all in for 60,100, just covering the squeezer.

Big stack: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Belanger-Lebel: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Squeezer: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, and Belanger-Lebel scored a major win. The French-Canadian tripled to 180,000, moving into the top ten in one fell swoop.
