Russian Royalty

Olga Petrovskaya hails from Russia originally, but has called Brooklyn home for the last five years. Today, she is making the Borgata her second home away from home, running over her table thus far and doubling her starting stack already.
We just watched Petrovskaya double through an opponent for another big pot, and here's what we saw.
Three players limped into the pot and Petrovskaya exercised her option in the big blind, raising the action to 1,200 (this hand was played in Level 5, with blinds set at 150-300). A lone limper opted to come along and the flop fell .
Petrovskaya checked the flop to induce a bet of 400, before raising to 1,200. Her opponent flatted the bet, and when the turn came Petrovskaya shoved all in for about 15,000 or so. The other player called her down with just
for no pair and a gutshot straight draw, while Pertrovskaya rolled over the
for top two pair. The river failed to deliver a jack - coming
instead - and with that Petrovskaya climbed the chip counts with a well-deserved double.
