Ashkenazi Scores Huge Double Through Michalek

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived at the table at the end of a preflop raising war between Ido Ashkenazi and Norman Michalek that saw all of Ashkenazi 346,000 go into the middle. Michalek held {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, but Ashkenazi held the rockets, {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The board brought a couple paint cards, but it was all safe for Ashkenazi, coming down {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

After that hand, Ashkenazi vaults towards the top of the leaderboard with 718,000, while Michalek is back down to 530,000.
