Ace on the River Gives Strelitz First Big Double
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In the final hand of Level 27, Daniel Strelitz opened to 60,000 from early position. Alexander Farahi then made it 180,000 from the button. With the action back on Strelitz, he made it 450,000. Farahi took his time before jamming all in which Strelitz called at once.
Daniel Strelitz: A♠K♠ 
Alexander Farahi: K♦K♣
It was a clash of monsters as the flop came 6♠Q♠Q♦. The turn was the J♥ and Strelitz was one card from the door but the A♦ came in on the river to give him the big pot and leave Farahi as the short stack.
