W HIGHROLLER ($5,000)

Atinan Tranarungroj and Viet An Nguyen both went all-in preflop. Tranarungroj held the chip disadvantage, but he had the better hand with A♥ A♣ against Nguyen’s A♦ K♣ .

The board ran out T♦ 5♣ 9♣ 2♠ A♠ , no sweat for Tranarungroj, who secured a much-needed double up with top set of aces.

Atinan Tranarungroj opened to 4,000 and picked up two callers, Hoang Hai Nam and Sia Lee.

The flop came 4♦ K♥ 7♣ . Tranarungroj checked, and Hoang Hai Nam seized the opportunity, leading for 6,500.

The pressure was enough, both Tranarungroj and Lee folded, and Nam scooped the pot uncontested.

Hoa Nguyen raised to 3,000 from utg+1, and Atinan Tranarungroj called from the lojack. Henri Hinds, sitting in the hijack, responded with a 3-bet to 13,500.

Nguyen quickly folded, but Tranarungroj came right back with a cold 4-bet to 30,000.

Hinds gave it some thought, then laid it down.
