Starostin Finds a Double
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ivan Starostin who has been grinding the entire series and has racked up a dozen cashes in the just in the past five weeks, was all in and at risk against Michael Elbilia from Miami.
Ivan Starostin: A?Q?
Michael Elbilia: A?J?
The flop was clean for Starostin as the K?3?9? spread and after the 2? fell, Elbilia needed a jack and a jack only but the 4? bricked and Starostin was awarded the pot with his better ace high.
