Sarkisyan Doubles Up, Remains Short

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Kevin Vandersmissen

Perma-short stacked Karen Sarkisyan opened to 50,000 in the hijack with just 207,000 behind, and it folded to Kevin Vandersmissen in the small blind who reraised to 140,000. Sarkisyan now tanked up - on the other table, Giaocomo Maisto had announced all in and was waiting for Andreas Wiese to act. And fair enough - there's a more than €2,500 difference between 15th and 14th places. Eventually Wiese folded, and a moment later Sarkisyan had gone all in. Vandersmissen called, and they were on their backs.

Sarkisyan: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Vandersmissen: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Flop: {8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades} putting Vandersmissen in the lead.

Turn: {5-Hearts} maintaining the status quo.

River: {9-Hearts} sending Sarkisyan lurching to the win with a full double up to around 550,000. Vandersmissen's über-stack was barely dented.
