Javed Rides the Roller Coaster to a Double
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Toni Kaukua raised to 12,000 in middle position, Khurram Javed moved all in for 79,000 in the cutoff, and Kaukua called.
Khurram Javed: A♣J♥ 
Toni Kaukua: Q♦Q♥
Javed took the lead on the A♥9♠8♣ flop with top pair, but Kaukua spiked the Q♠ on the turn to make a set. The river, though, was the 10♠ and Javed took back the lead with a straight to earn a double up.
"Sorry, my friend. I'm ready to go," Javed told Kaukua after the hand.
