Oganyan Doubles Into the Lead
Level 25
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Joao Vieira raised to 1,400,000 on the button and Aram Oganyan shoved all in for 18,000,000 in the big blind. Vieira snapped him off and the cards were tabled with the WSOP bracelet on the line.
Aram Oganyan: 6♠6♣
Joao Vieira: A♥J♣
It was a coin flip and the flop of 9♦8♠5♥ favored Oganyan with the pair of sixes. The 7♠ on the turn gave Oganyan a straight but Vieira still had outs to a bigger straight. The river was the 3♣ and Oganyan staved off elimination with a key double up, bringing the match close to even.
