Hein's Aces Can't Hold

We found Hans Joaquim Hein all in before the flop for about 180,000 in chips. Alban Juen called only to find that Hein held {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and was way ahead of Juen's {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

The table let out a collective gasp, however, when the flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, giving Juen both flush and straight draws. The {K-Clubs} quickly rolled off on the turn and gave Juen the nut flush. Hein could still fill up on the river, but failed to as the {K-Spades} completed the board.

Juen is now sitting on a stack of 1,960,000 while Hein was forced to the rail, left only with a story of how his aces were cracked to bust from the most important tournament of the year. Oh yeah, and the $44,655 he received in prize money.
