Flight 1B Players Remaining: 18

Amin Hosein (Trinidad & Tobago) had the dream situation, holding pocket aces against ace-king, with a super clean runout.

In order for this flight to move along, there are going to need to be some coolers, which we just happened to see unfold at Table 3.  Thomas Puccio was all-in pre with A♥ K♦, but ran into the A♣ A♦ of Amin Hosein.  After the board ran out clean for Hosein, Puccio would have to ship over 55,500 the way of Amin, leaving himself with just over two big blinds.

Amin Hosein - 120,000 (24bb)
Thomas Puccio - 13,000 (2bb)
