Aristotelos Spikes the Turn to Double Up
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
When it folded to Katherina Aristotelos on the button, she jammed for 615,000 and got snap-called by Vladimir Erceg out of the big blind.
Katherina Aristotelos: A♦5♥ 
Vladimir Erceg: 8♦8♣
Aristotelos was behind to the Snowmen of Erceg, but the 4♠Q♣3♥ flop gave her a straight draw along with an ace she could hit to double up. The A♥ rolled off on the turn to propel Aristotelos into the lead with top pair. A 10♣ completed the board, and Aristotelos doubled up.
