Kirkpatrick Wakes Up With Aces to Double
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ryan Kirkpatrick raised to 20,00 in middle position, Anthony Ibrahim moved all in from the small blind, and Kirkpatrick snap-called for 224,000.
Ryan Kirkpatrick: A♣A♠
Anthony Ibrahim: A♥Q♣
Kirkpatrick had found two aces and was a big favorite to double up. Ibrahim picked up a straight draw on the 9♠J♦6♦10♥ flop, but he improved no further on the 3♣ river as Kirkpatrick stayed alive on the bubble.
