Aces vs. Aces vs. Q6off?

We missed the preflop action but got the scoop from a player at the table. According to him, Alex Findlay raised in the cutoff and was three-bet by Paulus Valkenburg in the small blind. Then Erik Lemarquand shoved for 180,000 in the big blind, Findlay reshoved for 310,000 and Valkenburg called all in for 184,000 as the players turned up their hands.

Findlay: {A-}{A-}
Valkenburg: {A-}{A-}
Lemarquand: {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Lemarquand had a chance to crack not one but two pairs of aces. We didn’t catch the board but know that Lemarquand turned an inside-straight draw which he wasn’t able to complete on the river and was eliminated while the other two players split his chips.
