A little over an hour ago he was down to less than 3,000 in chips and the situation was looking hopeless. Now the situation has been completely reversed and he’s sitting at the table, dressed in his inimitable style, with a stack of approximately 15,000.

Aaron Jones just went broke in what he was forced to describe as the weirdest hand he's ever seen.
Apparently he shipped in his last 2,100 in the big blind after two players in early position limped in. After he shoved, so did they, showing and respectively.

The river then made Jone's flush, but the also gave both opponents boats.

The Team PokerStars Pro, who recorded his first cash of the 2014 WSOP just a few days ago finishing 9th in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw event and collecting $30,794, managed to push a couple of players off a small pot with a 750 chip bet on a flop.
