Moein Picks Up Aces
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Fausto Tantillo opened middle position to 80,000 and then called the shove of Ali Moein, who moved all in from the small blind for 355,000.
Ali Moein: A♥A♣ 
Fausto Tantillo: 10♠10♦
Both players had big pairs, but Moein's aces had no problem holding on the 8♦K♣4♥3♣Q♦ runout, which earned him a much-needed double-up.
