Armato Doubles with Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Roberto Armato opened to 10,000 from the cutoff, and Daniel Szymanski defended his big blind.
On the A♦3♦6♦ flop, Szymanski check-raised to 35,000 versus a bet of 10,000 from Armato. Armato called.
The 7♣ rolled off on the turn and Szymanski checked. Armato moved all in for 117,000, and Szymanski made the quick call to put Armato at risk.
Roberto Armato: A♣A♠ 
Daniel Szymanski: K♦2♦
Armato had top set aces, but still had outs to fade with Szymanski holding the king-high flush draw.
The 6♠ river was a brick, sending Armato a big pot and doing some serious damage to Szymanski.
