Linaras Cracks Joshi's Aces
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Sokratis Linaras got his last 24,000 into the middle preflop with Sachin Joshi making the call to try and bust him.
Sokratis Linaras: Q♠Q♥ 
Sachin Joshi: A♠A♥
Only a queen would help Linaras, but the 3♠K♥7♦ flop didn't contain one and he looked likely to be headed for the exit. However, the Q♦ came on the turn to propel him into the lead. A safe J♥ came on the river and Linaras doubled up with a set of queens.
