Alekian's Aces Hold Up
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Velibor Jakovljevič came in for a raise from early position and Genrik Alekian three-bet to 30,000 out of the big blind. Jakovljevič chose to call and see a flop.
The dealer spread out a flop of 6♠3♠10♦ and Alekian continued for 25,000. Jakovljevič jammed for around 100,000, which Alekian instantly called.
Velibor Jakovljevič: 10♠9♠ 
Genrik Alekian: A♠A♥
Alekian had the overpair, but Jakovljevič had top pair and a flush draw. The 5♣ came on the turn and Jakovljevič was one card away from hitting the rail.
A K♥ rolled off to complete the board, and Alekian's bullets held up, sending Jakovljevič to the exit
