"Musclewhale89" Gets an Easy Triple
In Level 14 with blinds of 2,000/4,000 and an ante of 500, "Musclewhale89" got their last 28,000 into the middle preflop in early position and received action from "SenorAlto" in middle position and "JMPoker," who was in the cutoff.
With the latter two competing for a potential side pot, the flop fell 
. "SenorAlto" shoved for 58,500 and "JMPoker" folded.

"Musclewhale" flopped the nut boat and only needed to fade running aces to earn the triple. The turn 
ensured such a runout would not happen, and the river 
made the hand official. The pot was shipped their way, bringing their stack up to 94,800 in the process.
Meanwhile, "gracyaces" was eliminated by "RGAx732x," who has now taken the chip lead with a stack of 559,000 as 26 players remain.
