Top Pair Enough for De Michele to Double
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Arriving on the 3♠7♥Q♦3♥J♣ river with 550,000 in the pot, big blind Alessandro De Michele checked to Leonidas Georgopoulos in the hijack. Georgopoulos announced an all-in bet, putting De Michele at risk for his 310,000.
De Michele spent a while in the tank, then called for his tournament life.
"You're good," Georgopoulos claimed, showing A♦K♦6♠2♦ for just ace-high.
A relieved De Michele tabled K♣Q♣9♥8♦ for queens and threes, earning him the pot and a double-up.
