Lichtenberger Doubles Through Grafton

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, Andrew Lichtenberger and Sam Grafton got all of their chips in the middle with Lichtenberger being at risk for 377,000. Once the cards were tabled, things were not looking good for Lichtenberger who held {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Grafton.

However, the {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop put Lichtenberger in the driver's seat with a pair of aces. Grafton was left drawing to the single remaining king in the deck and the {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} runout would not do it for him.
