Di Giacomo Takes Another Hit as Kokoulin Holds On to Double
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Claudio Di Giacomo raised to 130,000 in the cutoff and Volodymyr Kokoulin called in the big blind.
Kokoulin led out for 335,000 on the A♠6♠4♣ flop and Di Giacomo moved all in. Kokoulin quickly called for 605,000 total.
Volodymyr Kokoulin: A♥K♠5♦3♥ 
Claudio Di Giacomo: 10♦9♠9♥3♠
Kokoulin was ahead with a pair of aces but needed to dodge Di Giacomo's flush draw. The A♦ turn improved him to trips, while the river was the 7♣ and Kokoulin doubled up.
