We’ve just witnessed what may be the craziest hand of the tournament so far.

Paul Howley moved all in for 1,345,000 from the Hi-jack. James Ablott (Button) received the count and then re-shoved for 2,200,000. Seated in the Big Blind, Thomas Busst looked at his cards, sighed, looked the dealer in the eyes, and said, “All in.”

Paul Howley: A♦J♦
James Ablott: J♣J♥
Thomas Busst: A♠A♣

What a sick hand! The pocket aces of Busst were good on the 8♦10♠8♠K♣5♠ board, and seeing as he had both of his opponents covered, he sent two players to the rail at once.

Thomas Busst: 6,150,000
James Ablott: 0
Paul Howley: 0
