Joe Pelton Doubles Through Theodoros Aidonopoulos

We caught up to this hand on the turn. With the board reading {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {5-Spades} and about 14,000 in the pot, Joe Pelton was facing a bet of roughly 8,500 from his lone opponent Theodoros Aidonopoulos. Pelton thought for a bit, trying to get a read on Aidonopoulos and he eventually pushed his entire stack of 17,500 across the betting line.

Aidonopoulos made a relatively quick call and tabled {A-?} {6-?}. Pelton flipped up the better {A-?} {8-?}. The {8-Spades} on the river sealed the deal for the 2006 WPT Legends of Poker champion and two-time WPT finalist. His two pair was good and he survived to double his stack up to just shy of 50,000.
