Straver Spikes an Ace to Double Again
Level 32
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jon Vallinas raised to 1,300,000 in the small blind, Johannes Straver moved all in for 9,400,000 in the big blind, and Vallinas snap-called.
Johannes Straver: A♥J♣ 
Jon Vallinas: 10♦10♥
Straver was racing for his tournament life as his rail, which has grown to include Super Main Event finalist Christopher Nguyen, swarmed the table to await the flop. He missed the K♦7♠6♥ flop, but the turn brought the A♦ to give Straver the lead with top pair. The river was the 3♦ and Straver doubled up once again.
