Short Stack Double for Reading
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Stephen Sakai had extended his lead in a large pot that was checked on the Q♥9♣5♣J♥A♦ river when his A♣K♣ for the top pair and top kicker was good enough to beat Valentino Konakchiev.
Soon after that, Jason Acosta jammed into John Reading in a blind battle with the latter at risk for just 80,000.
John Reading: A♥5♥
Jason Acosta: K♦9♣
Neither player connected with the Q♦8♥6♠4♠2♥ board and Reading kept his hopes of an even deeper run alive.
