Castaignon’s Aces Takes Down Pot
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Aaron Thomas raised in early position to 32,000, and then a player two seats over three-bet to 90,000.
As if that wasn’t enough action, Remi Castaignon, Gaetan Balleur's tag-team partner, four-bet all in out of the small blind for his remaining 320,000.
Thomas had a decision and he elected to call. The player who three-bet the action went in the tank, and then looked at Thomas and Castaignon before folding QxQx face up to the stunned looks of the table.
Thomas’ call put Team Balleur at risk.
Remi Castaignon: A♠A♦ 
Aaron Thomas: J♣J♦
The dealer fanned K♣4♥K♥ on the flop, keeping Castaignon in the lead. The 8♣ on the turn and 2♣ on the river sealed the hand for Castaignon and his team.
