Medrano Left on Fumes After Doubling Auvil
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
After Ian Auvil raised on the button with K♠K♥, Miguel Medrano woke up with A♦J♣ in the small blind and moved all in for about 1,800,000.
Ronald Kaepernick folded and Auvil quickly called with a similar stack.
"No ace," called Auvil as the dealer spread a flop of 10♣8♠4♥. Auvil's kings continued to hold on the 8♥ turn, and then finally with the 5♥ river.
The dealer counted down the chips to see if Medrano was still alive. He was barely just so, holding onto 200,000 chips, while Auvil moved solidly back into second place.
