Sperazza Doubles With Ace High
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
There was 9,000 in the middle on a board reading 
with heads-up action between Mark Jaroslawski in the big blind and John Sperrazza, who was in early position. Jaroslawski had checked and was facing an all-in bet of 10,000 from Sperrazza. He went into the tank for over a minute, counting out his stack before sending 10 chips forward of the T1,000 denomination.
John Sperrazza: 
Mark Jaroslawski: 
Jaroslawski was unhappy to see that his queen was not live and one of his king outs to a straight was already accounted for. Meanwhile, Sperrazza needed to fade the river and would do just that as it fell 
, safe to secure him the double with his ace high.
