Aspeling Doubles Through Adam
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rayhaan Adam had raised to 12,500 in the big blind and then faced the shove by Elmien Aspeling in the hijack for 68,500. The big stack asked for an exact count and visibly mulled over the possible hand combinations before settling on a call.
Elmien Aspeling: K♣J♣ 
Rayhaan Adam: A♠6♠
Adam was ahead preflop and on the 9♦3♠2♥ flop but the J♠ turn gave Aspeling the lead. An ace or spade was required for Adam to deal the final blow but the 2♦ river ensured Aspeling's double-up.
