Short-stacked Matthew Archer appeared to be card dead for quite some time. Eventually, he was forced all in from 100,000 from the Small Blind. Kye Hamilton got a “free” chance to eliminate an opponent.

It was a crucial time for Archer to pick up a premium hand, to say the least. The board spelled out 3♥4♠A♦3♦Q♠, and he was now playing 400,000.

Two hands later, he moved all in for the aforementioned 400,000 from the Hi-jack. Andrew Matthews (Small Blind) and Anwar Kanj (Big Blind) both made the call.

Matthews and Kanj checked down every street of the 6♥9♠A♠J♦Q♥ board.

Matthew Archer: A♥10♦
Andrew Matthews: K♠2♠
Anwar Kanj: 4♣2♣

A pair of aces granted Archer a triple-up. Is this the beginning of something extraordinary?
