Gkatzas Doubles to Average Stack
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aram Sargsyan opened to 10,000 in the hijack. Zoltan Vrancsik flat-called on the button, after which Dimitrios Gkatzas squeezed in his stack of 121,000 from the small blind.
Sargsyan announced a call after some thought, while Vrancsik quickly got out of the way.
Dimitrios Gkatzas: A♣K♦ 
Aram Sargsyan: A♦Q♠
Neither player improved on the J♥5♠9♥4♣6♠ board. Gkatzas' ace-king remained the best hand, and he raked in a double-up to reach an average stack.
