Aces Hold for Huge Triple Up

[user140525]

In early position, the table's biggest stack opened with a raise, and Alexis Belanger-Lebel flatted. Another player, who had been waiting patiently for a spot for several hours, moved all in. Not intimidated by the guy's sudden aggression, the original raiser then over-shoved with his large stack. Belanger-Lebel quickly called all in for 60,100, just covering the squeezer.

Big stack: {q-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}
Belanger-Lebel: {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds}
Squeezer: {j-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades} {7-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {k-Hearts} , and Belanger-Lebel scored a major win. The French-Canadian tripled to 180,000, moving into the top ten in one fell swoop.
