Itkin Doubles Through Ward
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gal Itkin was all-in for his last 175,000 with Joe Ward being the player trying to eliminate him.
Gal Itkin: A♣J♥ 
Joe Ward: A♠K♦
Itkin looked poised to be headed for the rail until the dealer fanned out the flop of J♠8♣5♥ to give him top pair and put him in the lead. The 7♥ turn or Q♣ river didn't help Ward and Itkin doubled up.
