Egea Secures Huge Double Through Sydenstricker
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Action folded to Carlos Egea in the cutoff, who open-jammed for 7,600,000. Joao Sydenstricker was in the small blind, and he took quite some time before announcing he was all in, with the slightly covering stack.
Carlos Egea: A♠K♣ 
Joao Sydenstricker: A♣Q♦
Egea had Sydenstricker's ace pipped and the 7♦5♦4♥8♣J♥ runout confirmed his double-up with ace-king high, leaving Sydenstricker with crumbs.
