Mota Finds Aces
Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs raised to 40,000 in the hijack. Rafael Mota made it 110,000 to go on the button, after which Zavorotnijs moved all in. Mota quickly called off his stack of 625,000 to put himself at risk.
Rafael Mota: A♥A♦ 
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: K♦J♦
The 8♦9♠Q♠ flop provided Zavorotnijs with a straight draw. It did not come in on the 6♠ turn or Q♣ river, however, and Mota doubled up.
