In two out of the last three hands the player who was all in with aces lost. First, Ray Henson doubled through Cory Glass when he shoved {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} into Glass's {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. The board ran out {4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Glass was left with a little more than six big blinds.

Two hands later, John Deckard, aka Johnny Q, shoved all in over a James Mordue raise. There was another shove over Q's and Mordue folded leaving Q heads up against aces. Q had {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and he was against {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

"Come on put a six out there, just for sh*ts and giggles," said Q. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} and when the {5-Hearts} hit the turn, Q cheered, as he made a straight.
