Ghezelbash Picks Up Aces
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ali Ghezelbash has been nursing a short stack for most of the day but just picked up aces to double up through Matthew Rolfe.
They both saw a flop of Q♠10♠7♣ with the remaining 250,000 of Ghezelbash finding its way into the middle. Rolfe put in the call.
Ali Ghezelbash: A♠A♦ 
Matthew Rolfe: K♠Q♥
Rolfe had flopped top pair but needed to improve some more if he wanted to win the pot. He did find some more outs when the J♥ hit the turn with an open-ender, but the J♣ paired the board on the river, allowing Ghezelbash to double up.
