Aces Cracked

Jean Elie Joseph opened to 8,300 from middle position, Artyem Perlov three-bet to 22,000 from the small blind, and Joseph made the call.

The flop fell {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and Perlov led out for 26,000. Joseph immediately moved all in for 71,100, and Perlov called.

Perlov: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Joseph: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts} on the turn was a brick, but the {8-Spades} slammed on the river, giving Joseph two pair. Joseph clapped his hands loudly at the site of the card, and Perlov began to leave.

"I think you have him covered," Vanessa Selbst piped up.

Sure enough, Selbst was right. After the dealer counted down the stacks, Perlov was left with around 12,000 chips. Joseph doubled to 190,000.
