Getting aces once and getting value is sweet and even sweeter when it happens back to back. The lucky player was Ho Tai Tsai who just railed a player and did the same to Jerick Medina with A♣ A♦ well ahead of Medina's A♥ J♠ on a board 6♦ 2♦ 6♠ 5♥ T♣ .

Jerick Medina raises 9000 and Ho-Tai Tsai flats from the button. At the flop T♣ K♠ T♥ , Medina continues for 5000, Tsai raises 15,000, this time it's Medina who flats then both check the turn J♥ . On the river Q♣ , Tsai jumps out for 50,000, Medina tanks for some time then calls. Tsai shows the straight and wins the pot.

Kyunghwan Lee defends on the big blind then calls Jerick Medina's 5000 c-bet on the flop T♠ A♠ K♣ . On the turn 5♠ , Lee jumps out for 25,000 and it's enough to get Medina to fold.
