A player raised to 6,500 from early position and Rudy Mamo called on the button.

The flop rolled out JJ2 and the early position player checked over to Mamo who bet 5,000 to earn a call from his opponent.

Action checked through on the turn 5 to the river 5 where the early position player moved all in for 30,500 to send Mamo into the tank. Mamo counted out the stack and thought for a bit before ultimately putting out the chips to call.

Early Position: K10
Rudy Mamo: A8

Mamo held ace-high with the two pair on the board, besting his opponent's king-high and he ascended higher up the counts.
