Banicevic Doubles Back Above Start
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nikolaos Lampropoulos had raised in middle position when Daniel Zaremba made it 32,000 to go in the hijack. Vlado Banicevic called on the button, as did Lampropoulos once the action had folded back to him.
Zaremba continued for another 32,000 on the 4?A?J? flop. Banicevic then tossed in his stack of 91,000, to which Lampropoulos check-folded. Zaremba flicked in a quick call, however, and the cards were revealed.
Vlado Banicevic: A?A?10?2? 
Daniel Zaremba: A?K?K?8?
Zaremba was in horrible shape against the top set of Banicevic, who locked up the pot on the 8? turn. The 3? river mattered little as Banicevic doubled back up to more than 100 big blinds.
