Kings Over Jacks Earn Piedrabuena a Double Through Varela

Action moved to Claudio Piedrabuena in the hijack seat and he opened with a raise to 125,000. Engelberth Varela reraised from the cutoff seat to 275,000 next. Play then folded back around to Piedrabuena. He tanked for the better half of two minutes and then announced that he was all in. The all-in bet was for a total of 700,000. Varela took about ten seconds before making the call and the hands were tabled.

First, Varela showed the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} after he made the call. Piedrabuena waited for a few seconds and then showed the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, having Varela outdone so far.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Piedrabuena pumped his fists for the double up he received. He's up to nearly 1.5 million while Varela dropped back to 1.7 million.
