Franco Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Aces
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
After a series of raises and re-raises Sonny Franco found himself all in and in big trouble vs Ihar Soika who woke up with aces in the big blind.
Sonny Franco: K♥J♥ 
Ihar Soika: A♦A♠
The flop didn't give Franco very much as it came 5♣3♣Q♠ as he could only survive with running cards. The turn completed part one of that unlikely process as the J♠ came off and the river was a dramatic K♣ to give Franco runner-runner two pair and crack the aces to stay alive.
