Santa Maria Gets It Right Back
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Cedric Jaby limped in under the gun as Teddy Kamel in the cutoff, button Carlos Esquerdo, and Ariel Galactico and Fernando Santa Maria in the blinds all came along to create a five-way pot to the flop.
The dealer turned over 9♠2♣Q♣ and Jaby bet 85,000. Kamel called, Esquerdo and Galactico got out of the way, but Santa Maria then raised to 310,000.
Jaby immediately moved all in and Kamel folded, while Santa Maria called for his last 1,100,000.
Fernando Santa Maria: Q♥9♥
Cedric Jaby: A♦Q♠
Jaby had top pair, but Santa Maria had flopped two pair as the board ran out J♠2♦, keeping him in the lead and securing a double up.
