Assous Doubles With the Rockets
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
A flop of Q♦5♦8♠ saw Rodney Assous check, James Pilpa bet 65,000, Assous made it 165,000, Pilpa shoved, and Assous called off his stack of 525,000.
Rodney Assous: A♠A♣ 
James Pilpa: A♥Q♠
Pilpa no doubt though he was good and was probably surprised to see the pocket aces of his opponent. The runout of 2♥8♥ changed nothing and Assous doubled up.
