Pavlov Cracks Queens to Double Up
Level 15
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ilia Pavlov raised to 25,000 from early position and Michail Manolakis three-bet to 80,000. Pavlov then moved all in for 272,000 and Manolakis flicked in a chip to make the call. Pavlov was at risk as the cards were turned.
Ilia Pavlov: J♦J♠ 
Michail Manolakis: Q♠Q♣
Pavlov was in very bad shape and it looked like he would face elimination, until he caught a jack on the flop on a board of 5♥J♥K♠2♠A♠ to pull ahead. He won the pot and doubled his stack.
