Joentausta Binks Huge Double-Up Before Break
Level 25
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Aku Joentausta opened his button to 600,000. Andras Nemeth responded with a three-bet to 2,000,000 from the small blind, and Joentausta obliged with a call.
Nemeth put in 4,000,000 on the 4♦10♠5♥ flop, quickly calling when Joentauste pushed all in for 5,500,000.
Aku Joentausta: A♠8♠7♣5♣
Andras Nemeth: A♦K♠10♣8♣
Nemeth was in the lead with his pair of tens, but the 7♦ river upgraded Joentausta to two pair. The 6♦ river upgraded him to a straight, securing the pot.
Joentausta doubled up, taking over the chip lead from Nemeth in the last hand before the players were sent on break.
