Ito's Turn to Double
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Kenta Ito opened to 300,000 on the button and Van Marcus defended his big blind.
Marcus checked on the 7♠5♥J♠ flop and Ito continued for 225,000. Marcus then check-raised to 750,000, which was met with a shove from Ito for 1,200,000 total. Marcus called and hands were turned face up.
Kenta Ito: A♥A♠
Van Marcus: Q♠8♠
Ito held the lead with his aces, but needed to fade the flush draw of Marcus.
The 6♦ turn improved Marcus to an open-ended straight in addition to his flush draw for a big sweat, but the 3♣ river bricked out and Ito doubled up.
