Two More Double-Ups
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Lucas Blanco was in the big blind and got his stack of 172,000 in against Boris Kolev in the small blind.
Lucas Blanco: A♣J♠
Boris Kolev: Q♣9♠
Blanco's ace-high remained best on the 3♦7♠6♣K♥ flop and turn, and he rivered top pair on the A♥ river to secure his double-up.
At another table, Laurent Polito was all in for 284,000 under the gun and was up against Fabiano Cappelli on the button.
Laurent Polito: A♥A♣
Fabiano Cappelli: K♥K♣
The 5♣9♣A♠ flop left Cappelli's kings with just runner-runner outs, and Polito's top set was awarded the pot as the 10♥ turn prevented any miracles from occuring. The 3♦ river was dealt as a formality before the next hand was dealt.
