Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Will Failla raised to 6,000 from middle position and Zvi Stern three-bet all in for 21,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded and Failla tossed out a call.
Failla: 
Stern: 
The flop came down 
, giving both players a pair of aces. Stern still led with his queen kicker, but that all changed when Failla made two pair with the 
on the turn. Stern needed help to stay alive on the river and he received exactly that with the 
. His aces and jacks with a queen kicker secured him the double and he lived to fight another day. He now has about 55,000 while Failla has dropped to 238,000.
