Istomin Doubles Through Lob

Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Aleksei Istomin got his last 23,200 in from early position and Joachim Lob called on the button. "A flip please," the Russian said, excited, before the cards were turned over.
Aleksei Istomin:
Joachim Lob:
On the flop, Lob took the lead and Istomin asked in Spanish for an ace. His wish wasn't granted just yet with the
turn, but the
river did the trick.
