Hamilton Holds to Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ian Hamilton opened to 35,000 on the button, Roman Hrabec flatted the small blind, and Nicolas Vayssieres three-bet to 195,000 in the big blind. Hamilton moved all in for 610,000, Hrabec folded, and Vayssieres thought about it and called.
Ian Hamilton: 
Nicolas Vayssieres: 
The 
flop provided a big sweat with Vayssieres picking up a flush draw. The 
turn brought a red card but it was a safe one for Hamilton.
Hamilton just needed to fade a heart to survive, and the 
river brought another red scare, but it was a harmless diamond to secure the double for Hamilton's aces as he breathed a sigh of relief and stacked up his chips.
