A Bad Time For That

Don Himpele shoved with a relatively short stack and {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and he ran them right into the {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} of the player directly to his left. Himpele had his opponent barely covered, so it was the pocket aces that were at risk as the dealer ran out the board:

{8-Spades} {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs}... {J-Spades}!

The river gave Himpele the pot with his set, and we've lost one more player from the field. The board shows 828 remain.
