Hovhannisyan Finds One of the Last Two Aces
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne raised to 100,000 in early position before Mels Hovhannisyan moved all in for 960,000 in the cutoff. Arturo Paduano gave it some thought on the button but eventually folded, while small blind Christopher Campisano reshoved. Eychenne folded two sixes.
Mels Hovhannisyan: A♥Q♠ 
Christopher Campisano: K♠K♣
Campisano had woken up with kings, but the flop came A♠7♦7♣ to give Hovhannisyan the lead with two pair. The rest of the board ran out 5♠J♥ and Hovhannisyan doubled up.
"I win. I folded ace-jack," Paduano said after the hand.
