Rivier's Rockets Bust a Player and Decimate Another

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Daniel Rivier was in the midst of every poker player's dream as he was all in against two players, holding the {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

One of his opponents, who had Rivier covered, held the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. What was already a dire situation for the queens became worse when the shortest stack of the all ins revealed that he held {q-}{7-}, thus eliminating one of the outs for the ladies.

The board stayed clean for Rivier's aces when it ran out {4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to give him the huge pot, while busting a player and leaving another with crumbs (who busted soon afterwards).
