Pavlov Cracks Queens to Double Up
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ilia Pavlov moved all in from under the gun for 185,000, less than ten big blinds. Roman Hrabec got the count and then made the call from middle position. The rest of the table folded and players flipped their cards, with Pavlov at risk.
Ilia Pavlov: A♥10♠ 
Roman Hrabec: Q♦Q♣
Hrabec was well ahead with his pocket queens, but the board ran out K♣5♥J♦A♣A♦ and Pavlov paired his ace on the turn, further improving to trip aces on the river to double up his stack.
