All the Aces, But the Stacks Largely Unchanged

When we arrived at the table, Adrian Passfield was already all in for mere pocket change, and a further raising war between Eli Elezra (cutoff) and Filippo Candio (button) had Candio all in too. Elezra, covering him by 20,000 or so, made the call.

Elezra: 
Candio: 
Passfield: 
"Well, it's not a bad spot," said the cheerful Passfield.
"Spades!" Elezra ordered the dealer.
Board: 
Bit of a sweat on the turn, there, but the aces held up. Passfield, who was glad he didn't pass and is still in the field, tripled up to a still very shaky 12,000, and looked rather pleased about it. Candio made a noise like a very relieved horse as he received 50,000 back, only slightly less than he'd put in; and Elezra walked off but will return to a 70,000 stack.
