Golka Doubles With Aces

Level 23
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Joni Rantamaki raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Rafael Golka three-bet to 105,000 from the button. After it folded back to Rantamaki, he called.
Rantamaki checked the Q?J?7? flop and Golka continued with a bet of 80,000. Rantamaki check-shoved for Golka's remaining 219,000, and Golka snap-called.
Rafael Golka: A?A?
Joni Rantamaki: A?10?
Golka was ahead with pocket aces but Rantamaki had a huge combo-draw. The 10? fell on the turn before the 3? hit the river. Golka faded Rantamaki's draws, and doubled up.
