Beresford, Kolev Find Doubles

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Conor Beresford moved all in for 15,500 from the cutoff and Andrey Litvinov called in the big blind.

Conor Beresford: A♠7♥
Andrey Litvinov: A♥9♥

Both players hit their ace on the 5♥6♦A♣ flop but Litvinov remained in front with his nine-kicker. The K♥ turn left Beresford one card from elimination, but he found the 7♣ to make two pair and double up.

At the same time at another table, Boris Kolev was all in for 16,000 in the cutoff and up against Ilija Savevski in middle position.

Boris Kolev: K♥K♠
Ilija Savevski: A♣Q♣

The 3♦Q♠3♥ flop gave Kolev a sweat as Savevski hit his queen, but Savevski improved no further on the 2♣ turn or 4♥ river and Kolev stayed around.
