Varanavicius Wakes Up With Kings to Double
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Thomas Hall raised to 5,000 in the hijack and Marius Varanavicius moved all in for 45,000 in the small blind. Hall spent a few minutes agonizing over the decision but eventually put in the chips to call.
Marius Varanavicius: K♣K♠ 
Thomas Hall: 7♠7♦
Hall's suspicions proved correct as Varanavicius showed a pair of kings. The A♦10♦8♠5♥A♥ board was no help to Hall and he was forced to hand over the double up.
