Balleur Shows Down Aces to Take Out Two
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
David Litt moved all in for 60,000 from the small blind on a flop of K♥8♥3♣ and Boris Kolev called in the big blind. Gaetan Balleur then raised to 150,000 under the gun and Kolev called to create a side pot.
The turn was the 4♠ and Balleur moved all in, having Kolev's remaining 210,000 covered. Kolev spent several minutes in the tank and eventually called.
Kolev showed 10♥4♥ for a flush draw, Litt had 8♣7♣ for a pair of eights, but they were both behind Balleur's A♠A♣. The river Q♠ was no help to either player and Balleur scored the double knockout.
