Michael Sabbia Looks for the Double Elimination with Aces

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Pete Chen

Pete Chen raised to 12,000 from early position and Karapet Galstyan moved all-in for 94,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Michael Sabbia in the big blind and a count of Galstyan's chips was requested. Sabbia called the all-in, with Chen moving all-in himself right behind, and then Sabbia calling that all-in, as well.

Karapet Galstyan: A?K?
Pete Chen: K?K?
Michael Sabbia: A?A?

Sabbia's aces were in a great position to score a double knock-out and move him into one of the top chip positions, but the case king landed on a flop of 5?K?8? and provided Chen with top set, quickly reducing the aces to needing the one remaining ace in the deck in order pull back ahead.

However, it was not to be as the turn 4? and river 4? would give Chen a near triple-up.
