On the 26th round of hand-for-hand, Tad Macaraeg opened to 28,000, Nathaniel Kogel min-raises to 48,000, then David Solomon four-bet to 160,000. 

Macaraeg call for less to put himself at risk while Kogel got out of the way.

Macaraeg: A♦Q♦3♠2♥  
Solomon: A♣A♥J♦J♣

 "Yes!" Macaraeg shouted when the flop came out 2♦9♠Q♥ to give him the lead with two pair, but that was quickly followed by a "NOO!" as the 9♥ peeled on the turn for Solomon's aces to counterfeit him. The river was the blank 6♠ to award Solomon the pot and Macaraeg was eliminated on the money bubble. 

Solomon - 410,000
