Rockets for Ilani
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Julio Carvalho opened to 8,000 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 22,000 from Boris Angelov in the next seat. Action folded to Ran Ilani in the small blind, who moved all in for 34,000. Carvalho got out of the way, and Angelov called.
Ran Ilani: A♦A♥ 
Boris Angelov: A♠10♦
Ilani had woken up with rockets, and although he had a bit of a sweat after the Q♦J♠6♥ flop gave his opponent a gutshot, the 3♦ turn and Q♠ river were bricks to send Ilani the double-up.
