El-Rais Cracks Aces
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Max Steinberg opened to 30,000 before Mohamad El-Rais moved his short stack all in. Mitchell Garshofsky replied by shoving his larger stack, and Steinberg let his hand go.
Mohamad El-Rais: K♥Q♣
Mitchell Garshofsky: A♠A♣
Garshofsky turned over his pocket aces, and remained ahead after El-Rais found a pair on the 4♣Q♠J♥ flop. El-Rais improved again on the K♦ turn before making a full house on the K♣ river.
Garshofsky was left in disbelief, as El-Rais cracked aces to stay alive with the double-up.
