Albert Scores Double Knockout
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Filippos Stavrakis limped from under the gun before Vincent Albert raised to 40,000 from the hijack. Danny Wong called out of the big blind, and Stavrakis also came along.
The 4♦10♥6♠ flop led Wong to go all-in for 104,000. Stavrakis followed with an all-in of his own for 206,000, and Albert called to put both at risk.
Danny Wong: A♠7♠6♣5♠
Filippos Stavrakis: Q♦10♠9♦8♥
Vincent Albert: A♥A♠9♣3♣
Wong had a pair plus an open-ender, while Stavrakis had top pair and a gutshot.
Albert was ahead with his pair of aces, and the aces found a way to hold when the 4♣ turn gave him two pair, and the 5♣ river only gave Wong a lesser two pair, and sent the pot to Albert.
