Stavrakis Finds a Double
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The button raised to 8,500. Filippos Stavrakis, in the big blind, saw a sequence of raises that ensured his effective stack of 31,500 was all in and at risk against the button.
Filippos Stavrakis: A♦A♠J♠7♦ 
Button: A♣K♠K♦8♣
Stavrakis' aces were in a favourable position, but it was the 7♥7♠9♣ flop that virtually locked up his double. The 3♠ turn and 10♣ river saw the pot shipped in the direction of Stavrakis.
