Oganyan Finds a Way to Double With Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
From the cutoff, Aram Oganyan had three-bet to 7,500 over a raise from early position. Carlos Aoun four-bet from the big blind to 18,000, which Oganyan just called.
When the 2♣7♥10♥ flop came down, Aoun tossed out a bet of 30,000. Oganyan paused briefly before making the call.
Aoun slowed down and checked the Q♣ turn, prompting Oganyan to jam for 67,700. Aoun was visibly distressed by his situation, but after a brief pause, he made the call to put Oganyan at risk.
Aram Oganyan: A♥A♦ 
Carlos Aoun: J♥J♣
Oganyan had slow-played aces to perfection, and now was poised to double up, unless a two-outer jack came on the river. A 9♠ appeared on the river, and Oganyan doubled.
