Khamatgareev Holds to Survive

Stewart Morrison

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ravil Khamatgareev moved all in for 35,000 under the gun, and only the player in the cutoff called.

Ravil Khamatgareev: A♠K♠ All in
Opponent: A♥J♦

The A♦6♣10♣2♦6♦ improved both players to two pair, but Khamatgareev's superior kicker kept him in the lead, earning him a double-up.
