Geleziunas Catches Big Double-Up From Chipleader

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tomas Geleziunas
Tomas Geleziunas

Tomas Geleziunas had three-bet Barry McMahon to 600,000 preflop from the big blind, and McMahon called from the button. Geleziunas then continued for 300,000 on the Q♣J♦4♠ flop, followed by another call from his opponent.

He then slowed down and checked the 5♥ turn, after which McMahon bet 1,050,000. Geleziunas responded by jamming for 1,595,000, and McMahon called after some deliberation.

Tomas Geleziunas: Q♦Q♣
Barry McMahon: 7♦7♣

Geleziunas' overpair was up against the straight and set draw of McMahon, who bricked out when the J♣ river paired the board. Geleziunas doubled his stack while former chipleader McMahon was still left with almost double the average
