Preflop, James Maltz raised to 9,000 and a middle-position player reraised to 24,500. Tommy Brown called all in from the button. He had only 15,700 behind. Maltz also called the raise.

On the flop of {K-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, Maltz check-folded to a bet from the middle-position player. Brown was all in for his tournament life with {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and his opponent held {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}.

The turn fell the {2-Clubs} and river the {10-Clubs} and Brown tripled up to around 60,000 in chips.

After the hand, another player said, "The last time I saw Tommy play a hand, he had aces."
