Stern Doubles Through Failla

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Will Failla raised to 6,000 from middle position and Zvi Stern three-bet all in for 21,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded and Failla tossed out a call.

Failla: {A-Spades}{4-Spades}
Stern: {A-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, giving both players a pair of aces. Stern still led with his queen kicker, but that all changed when Failla made two pair with the {4-Hearts} on the turn. Stern needed help to stay alive on the river and he received exactly that with the {J-Spades}. His aces and jacks with a queen kicker secured him the double and he lived to fight another day. He now has about 55,000 while Failla has dropped to 238,000.
