Huge Double For Aram Vartevaniyn

Aram Vartevaniyn may have turned up fashionably late but it has worked in his favor as he has just doubled up through Sam El Sayed.

Kiryl Radzivonau opened to 21,000 from the hijack only to see Vartevaniyn shove on the button for 176,000 in total. El Sayed was in the small blind and he reshoved and when Radzivonau folded the cards were shown down.

El Sayed: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Vartevaniyn: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

El Sayed paired his jack on the {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop but the queens stayed ahead on the {6-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river and Vartevaniyn doubled up.
