Stoika on Heaps After Double Elimination
Level 7
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Roman Stoika opened to 20,000 in the cutoff. Vladislav Dubanov three-bet to 60,000 on the button, which Abdullah Alajmi cold-called in the small blind. Stoika then moved all in, covering both opponents.
Dubanov called off his stack of 400,000 after some thought, and Alajmi quickly followed suit, playing slightly less.
Abdullah Alajmi: K♦10♥ 
Vladislav Dubanov: K♠K♥
Roman Stoika: J♠J♥
The kings of Dubanov had both others in dire shape. The 2♠J♣Q♥ flop decimated his hand, however, flopping Stoika a set and Alajmi an open-ender.
The 2♣ turn left Alajmi without hope as Stoike made a full house, and the 5♠ river did not bring Dubanov his desired king, knocking him out as well.
