Ovechkin Doubles Through Pascaud
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Leandro Dirlewanger opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 35,000 by Alexander Ovechkin on the button. Ludovic Pascaud called cold from the small blind and Dirlewanger folded.
Both players checked on the A♠A♦4♠ flop and then Ovechkin called a 35,000 bet from Pascaud on the 9♦ turn.
Pascaud bet 40,000 after the 5♣ completed the board and Ovechkin went all in for 43,000 total. Pascaud called and Ovechkin turned over A♣K♦ for trip aces with a king kicker.
Pascaud couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the double up to Ovechkin.
