Hovsepyan Cracks Aces to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Ruben Hovsepyan in late position was all in and at risk against a player in early position.
Ruben Hovsepyan: A♠3♠ 
Early Position Player: A♥A♦
Hovsepyan was in awful shape but did find some faint hope on the 3♥8♥7♦ flop. The J♦ turn did not change anything but the 3♦ river was a miracle for Hovsepyan as he doubled up in fortunate fashion.
Another player at the table, Donavan Cox, revealed that he had folded queens preflop, thus preserving his stack.
