Aristotelos Goes Runner-Runner to Double

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Katherina Aristotelos
Katherina Aristotelos

Katherina Aristotelos and Hassan Barakat saw a flop of {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} when Aristotelos got her last 250,000 in the middle from the big blind.

Barakat, in early position, had her at risk with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a flopped set, while Aristotelos showed {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for top pair and a flush draw.

Aristotelos didn't hit her flush, but she did catch the {j-Clubs} on the turn and {8-Diamonds} on the river to make a running full house as the table let out a collective gasp.
