The good news was that Alvin T. woke up with pocket aces when he was short-stacked. The better news was that an opponent, Manuel Blaschke was a willing customer in a pre-flop showdown.
Alvin T: A♠ A♣
Blaschke: A♦ 10♦
Flop 6♥ 7♠ Q♠ was safe for Alvin T. though the turn 8♥ gave Blaschke new outs. It didn’t come on the river 7♦ and Alvin T. doubles-up to around a dozen thousand.
