Fritz Finds an Ace to Double Up
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alexander Zubov and Manuel Fritz in the blinds appeared to have gotten their chips into the middle, with Fritz's stack of 279,000 at risk.
Manuel Fritz: A♦7♦ 
Alexander Zubov: 8♠8♣
Fritz flopped best on A♥3♠Q♣, taking a huge lead with his top pair. Zubov did not find an eight on the 3♦ turn and 5♣ river, and he consequently doubled up his neighbor.
