Sargsyan Finds an Ace to Double
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aram Sargsyan raised to 10,000 in the hijack, Iraklis Manikaros moved all in from the big blind, and Sargsyan called for 86,000.
Aram Sargsyan: A♦K♥ 
Iraklis Manikaros: K♦K♣
Sargsyan needed to improve against Manikaros' kings to stay alive, but he missed the 10♣J♠6♠ flop. The turn, though, brought the A♠ and Sargsyan took the lead with top pair. The river was the 5♦ and Manikaros sent over the double up.
