Kaufmann Holds to Double Off Kolonias
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alexandros Kolonias raised to 60,000 in middle position, David Kaufmann moved all in for 445,000 in the hijack, and Kolonias called.
David Kaufmann: A♠K♣ 
Alexandros Kolonias: A♣Q♥
Kaufmann had Kolonias dominated, but the 6♥2♥5♥ flop meant he had to dodge Kolonias' flush draw to stay alive. The A♦ turn gave both players top pair, and Kaufmann's king-kicker remained ahead on the J♣ river to earn the double up.
