Reard Flops Broadway to Double Through Zobian
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Brad Albrinck opened the hijack to 120,000 and Alexandre Reard three-bet from the cutoff to 300,000. Aram Zobian was in the big blind and shoved all in, which got Albrinck to fold, but Reard quickly called for his stack of 1,940,000.
Alexandre Reard: A♣K♥ 
Aram Zobian: A♥Q♥
Reard, who won this event last year, was in a great spot to double up and leap up the counts towards the summit. For a brief moment, Reard perhaps feared for his tournament life as he saw the Q♦10♦J♦ flop which paired Zobian's queen, but gave Reard Broadway.
A 6♦ on the turn brought around some more chop opportunities but the 8♥ river was clean for Reard, who doubled up.
