Ace-High for the Double

Darren Elias doubles with ace-high.
Darren Elias doubles with ace-high.

Carter Phillips and Darren Elias were heads up with the board reading {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Phillips led for 23,000 from under the gun, and Elias called. The {j-Clubs} turned, and Phillips slowed down, checking to Elias who fired 42,000. Phillips moved all in for effectively 205,000, and Elias tank-called with just ace-high.

Phillips: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Elias: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Elias dodged a ton of outs when the {k-Spades} completed the board, doubling to nearly half a million chips.

"That qualifies as sick," Eddy Sabat told Elias after the hand.
