Aces Give Roiter New Life
Level 27
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Klemens Roiter opened to 600,000 from the cutoff, and Aleksejs Ponakovs on the button three-bet to 1,300,000. It folded back to Roiter who four-bet all in for his stack of 3,900,000, which Ponakovs snap called.
Klemens Roiter: A♥A♣ 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦Q♠
Roiter found aces at a perfect time and got a much-needed double up after the 8♦J♣7♠9♣7♥ runout allowed him to secure the double up.
