Malik Doubles with Aces
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bruce Olson raised to 15,000 in cutoff and received a three-bet to 45,000 by Brian Malik on the button. Both players saw the Q♥6♠8♦ flop.
Olson shoved all-in, and Malik snap-called.
Brian Malik: A♦A♠ 
Bruce Olson: K♥8♥
The runout of J♦9♣ didn't help Olson. And with his aces holding up, Malik scooped the pot for a double.
