Hallay's Aces Beat Grigorev's Kings

Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Iurii Grigorev picked up a premium hand, but was disappointed to see that he was up against a slightly better hand held by Axel Hallay after the two got their chips in preflop blind-on-blind.
Axel Hallay: A?A?
Iurii Grigorev: K?K?
Hallay had the shorter stack and managed to double it up as the 7?9?3?J?5? runout kept his bullets in the lead. Grigorev, however, dropped down to around 700,00—even with Hallay.
