Polintas Has His Aces Cracked
Nivel 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ioannis Polintas raised from middle position, receiving calls from the hijack, button and big blind.
The action checked to Polintas, who continued for 2,200, on the 8♦6♦7♣ flop. The hijack folded and Stanislav Sorokin, on the button, raised to 5,000. The big blind folded. Polintas tanked before moving all in for Sorokin's effective stack of 14,000. Sorokin called.
Stanislav Sorokin: 5♦3♦ 
Ioannis Polintas: A♦A♥
Sorokin was behind but held a monster draw. Although the A♣ turn gave Polintas a set, the 9♦ river improved Sorokin to a flush to double up.
