Stark Flops Best and Doubles Up
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Allen Moheimani opened the action from early position with a raise to 2,100, which was called by a player in middle position. It then folded to Derek Stark in the cutoff, who three-bet to 7,000. It folded back to Moheimani who called, as did the middle position player.
After the flop came A♠6♥4♣ Moheimani checked, when the middle position player bet out 11,000. Stark then raised all in for his stack of 14,100. Moheimani folded and the middle position player quickly called to put Stark at risk.
Derek Stark: A♥6♣ 
Middle Position: A♣Q♥
Stark out flopped the bigger ace of his opponent, and once the board ran out 5♥ on the turn, and 3♦ on the river, the two pair aces and sixes remained best, to give Stark the double up.
