Lipp Spikes a King to Double; Hajiyev Busts
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ramin Hajiyev raised to 20,000 from middle position and Alex Kulev called on the button. Matthias Lipp squeezed all in from the small blind for 205,000, and Hajiyev quickly shoved over the top for 250,000. Kulev folded what he said was pocket nines and the players went to a showdown.
Matthias Lipp: K♠10♠ 
Ramin Hajiyev: J♣J♦
Hajiyev just needed to fade a king or some spades to send Lipp for an early shower.
The dealer spread out the A♦K♦3♣ flop, giving Lipp the best hand with a pair of kings. The rest of the board came A♠A♥, and Lipp doubled.
Hajiyev was left with just a few big blinds, and has since been eliminated.
