Armato Doubles with Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Roberto Armato opened to 10,000 from the cutoff, and Daniel Szymanski defended his big blind.
On the A?3?6? flop, Szymanski check-raised to 35,000 versus a bet of 10,000 from Armato. Armato called.
The 7? rolled off on the turn and Szymanski checked. Armato moved all in for 117,000, and Szymanski made the quick call to put Armato at risk.
Roberto Armato: A?A? 
Daniel Szymanski: K?2?
Armato had top set aces, but still had outs to fade with Szymanski holding the king-high flush draw.
The 6? river was a brick, sending Armato a big pot and doing some serious damage to Szymanski.
