Albertini Doubles Through the Ukrainian
Sergii Baranov limped on the button, Phil Hellmuth folded from the small blind, and Stephane moved all in for 920,000. Baranov made a quick call to put the Frenchman at risk.
| Showdown |
Baranov: ![]() ![]() |
Albertini: ![]() ![]() |
The 

flop gave Albertini a big lead with a pair of aces, while the
turn left Baranov drawing dead. The meaningless
was put out on the river for good measure and the French contingent, of which there are a couple dozen, went wild on the rail.
