Kardash Finds Aces at the Right Time
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ali Al-Kubasi raised the button to 125,000, and Vyacheslav Kardash jammed for 685,000 from the small blind. Al-Kubasi made the call for almost half of his stack.
Vyacheslav Kardash: A♣A♥
Ali Al-Kubasi: K♣Q♣
Al-Kubasi had a difficult task ahead of him as he looked to crack Kardash's aces.
He picked up a straight draw on the J♦5♠9♠ flop, but the 7♦ turn and K♦ river weren't enough, and Kardash secured the double-up.
