Itkin Doubles Through Ward
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gal Itkin was all-in for his last 175,000 with Joe Ward being the player trying to eliminate him.
Gal Itkin: A?J? 
Joe Ward: A?K?
Itkin looked poised to be headed for the rail until the dealer fanned out the flop of J?8?5? to give him top pair and put him in the lead. The 7? turn or Q? river didn't help Ward and Itkin doubled up.
