Wantman Doubles With Aces Against Bezhanyan
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Matthew Wantman raised to 550,000 from under the gun with A♠A♣ and Aren Bezhanyan three-bet to 1,625,000 from the big blind holding A♦K♦. Wantman called.
Bezhanyan continued for 425,000 on the Q♦5♣2♥ flop, which Wantman called to the 5♦ turn. With the nut flush draw, Bezhanyan shoved and Wantman snap-called for his stack of 5,300,000.
Only a diamond on the river would send Wantman out, but the 7♣ rolled off, and he doubled up.
