Hatzakortzian Double Leaves Stanic Speechless
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Edward Hatzakortzian opened to 15,000 and Mario Stanic three-bet to 45,000, which the initial raiser called. Both checked the Q♠7♣4♦ flop to the 7♦ turn on which Hatzakortzian jammed for 70,500, Stanic called.
Edward Hatzakortzian: 5♦2♦
Mario Stanic: A♣K♥
Stanic's hero-call with ace-high was correct but the 5♣ river brought a cruel beat for Hatzakortzian to double.
