Puente Survives a Flip
Level 6
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A player in middle position raised to 1,500 and Manuel Puente called in the hijack. Fernando Banda also called in the small blind before the big blind three-bet to 3,500.
Action folded to Puente who moved all in for 28,500. Banda quickly folded, but the big blind called to put Puente at risk.
Manuel Puente: A♠K♥ 
Opponent: 10♦10♥
Puente remained behind and at risk as the flop came Q♦2♦2♥, but he caught the A♥ on the turn to make two pair. The river was the 7♦ and Puente doubled up.
