Frank Peelen raised to 16,000 from the button and Elie "Punisher934" Payan raised the pot from the small blind, making it 56,000 to go. Peelen called and the flop fell 
. Payan instantly moved in for his last 24,000 and Peelen stared him down before calling with the 
for top pair.
Payan held 
for a apir of aces and a flush draw and Peelen was in bad shape. The turn and river came 
and 
respectively and Payan's aces held up in this duel between two players who have already exchanged bitter words at points in this tournament.
