Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a flop of 7♠3♠3♥, Georgios Ioannou bet 8,000 from the cutoff and faced a check-shove for roughly 32,000 from Felix Vu out of the big blind. After a few moments, Ioannou called to put Vu at risk.

Felix Vu: A♦A♣ All in
Georgios Ioannou: K♥K♣

Ioannou was on the wrong end of a cooler and needed to find a king if he was to bust Vu. However, the rest of the board ran out 7♣10♦ and Vu earned the double-up with pocket aces.
