Christoforou Hits the River to Double
Level 21
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Boris Kolev raised to button to 500,000 and Andreas Christoforou three-bet shoved for roughly 4,150,000 from the small blind. Ali Al-Kubasi called in the big blind with the covering stack and Kolev folded.
Andreas Christoforou: A♠8♣ 
Ali Al-Kubasi: A♣K♠
Christoforou's ace was dominated by Al-Kubasi and he needed some help from the dealer to survive. The 9♥5♣4♣ flop didn't change anything, but the 4♦ turn gave Christoforou some chop outs. However, he managed to find the 8♥ on the river to scoop the whole pot and double up.
