Golka Doubles With Aces
Level 23
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Joni Rantamaki raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Rafael Golka three-bet to 105,000 from the button. After it folded back to Rantamaki, he called.
Rantamaki checked the Q♥J♥7♣ flop and Golka continued with a bet of 80,000. Rantamaki check-shoved for Golka's remaining 219,000, and Golka snap-called.
Rafael Golka: A♠A♣ 
Joni Rantamaki: A♥10♥
Golka was ahead with pocket aces but Rantamaki had a huge combo-draw. The 10♠ fell on the turn before the 3♦ hit the river. Golka faded Rantamaki's draws, and doubled up.
