Kazanjian Doubles on the First Hand of Play in 7-Bet Pot

Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

On the very first hand of the tournament, Karneet Arora raised to 200 from the cutoff, and when it folded the small blind David Kazanjian, he three-bet to 1,000. Once the big blind folded, Arora four-bet to 3,500, and Kazanjian quickly five-bet to 11,500. Arora then six-bet to 18,500, and Kazanjian seven-bet all in for 40,000, which was snap called by Arora, putting both players at risk.
Karneet Arora: Q?Q?
David Kazanjian: A?K?
After the wild pre flop action, it was a classic flip, with both players all in for their starting 40,000 chip stack. Arora was ahead with his pocket queens, but once the board ran out A?6?9?J?6? Kazanjian improved to a pair of aces for the best hand, to double up and knockout Arora.
