Mahonen Finds a Double
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Robert Dascalescu opened to 2,500 from the hijack and David Vital called from the cutoff. Action folded to Jari Mahonen in the big blind, who shoved for a bit over 15,000. Dascalescu folded, but Vital called to put Mahonen at risk.
Jari Mahonen: K♦K♠
David Vital: K♣Q♠
Mahonen was in commanding shape with his kings and the 5♥4♣9♣10♦7♣ runout kept him in front for the double-up.
