Another Double for Dato

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Andrea Dato Gets Another Double Up
Andrea Dato Gets Another Double Up

From early position, Bill Chen raised to 60,000 and action folded around to Andrea Dato in the big blind. Dato decided to move all in with his new found chips and Chen made the call.

Chen: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Dato: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}

The two were racing and Dato's pair of Fours remained in the lead after the {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. The turn brought an interesting {j-Hearts}. While it gave Chen an open-ended straight draw, it also gave Dato a flush draw. As a result, Chen lost two outs but gained six others.

The {10-Clubs} river was none of them though and Dato quadrupled up in just two hands. He now has 850,000 while Chen, still our chip leader, falls to 1,500,000.
