Chaoui Cracks Aces on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui and Dmitrii Astratov were both all in with very similar chip stacks, but it was the former who was at risk as he had around 10,000 less.
Mehdi Chaoui: Q♥Q♠ 
Dmitrii Astratov: A♣A♦
Chaoui looked to be heading to the exit, but spiked a queen on the river with the 7♥K♥J♣6♠Q♣ runout to earn himself a double up, which left Astratov with just 10,000 in his stack.
