Lakhov Runs Into Aces
Level 17
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Following an open-raise to 60,000 from middle position, Alexander Lakhov moved all in for around 500,000 from late position, then Damir Zhugralin called all-in from the small blind. The original raiser folded, leaving the two players to flip their cards.
Damir Zhugralin: A♦A♠
Alexander Lakhov: A♥Q♠
Lakhov ran into aces and needed a lot of help to claw it back. He found a pair on the K♥6♦Q♦ flop, but Zhugralin held on the 7♣ turn and J♣ river to win the pot, doubling his stack.
