Sfarlea's Ladies Run Into Karadaglis' Aces
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Stylianos Karadaglis opened from early position to 35,000 and Dan Sfarlea shoved around 200,000 from the hijack. Once the action got back to Karadaglis, he carefully pushed his stack into the middle with both hands.
Dan Sfarlea: Q♦Q♣ 
Stylianos Karadaglis: A♥A♦
Sfarlea had a premium and was unfortunate to run into the bigger pair of Karadaglis. There was still a runout to come, which did bring four spades on the J♠8♥4♠5♠7♠ board. However, neither player held a spade, which meant Sfarlea was eliminated.
