Aces Get Cracked, Aces Hold
Level 24
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Anatolii Savin was in the cutoff and moved all in for 3,900,000. Raoul Kanme wasted no time in calling once it had folded to him in the big blind.
Anatolii Savin: J♣10♠
Raoul Kanme: A♠A♣
Savin was in dire straits, but he cracked Kanme's aces and doubled up when the 10♣8♠10♦4♦J♠ runout gave him a full house.
Over at another table, Zhuoqun Zhang opened to 600,000 on the button and snap-called once Symeon Alexandridis put him all in for 4,700,000 from the big blind.
Zhuoqun Zhang: A♦A♣
Symeon Alexandridis: 4♠4♣
Contrary to Kanme, Zhang had no issues holding on the Q♠5♠J♦K♣9♥ board, doubling him up and leaving Alexandridis with a short stack.
