Enselme Takes Commanding Lead After Doubling Through Maugini

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Arnaud Enselme
Arnaud Enselme

Arnaud Enselme opened for 250,000 from the button and Vittorio Maugini shoved all in over the top from the small blind. James O'Brien, in the big blind, went into the tank and used a time bank card before folding. Enselme snapped for 1,775,000 total and turned his cards up.

Arnaud Enselme: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Vittorio Maugini: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Maugini was in a world of hurt as his suited eight-seven only had a 20% chance to crack Enselme's pocket tens.

It got worse for the Italian as the flop came {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} to give Enselme middle set.

The {k-Spades} has Maugini drawing to nines and nines alone.

The {7-Spades} completed the board and Enselme assumed the tournament chip lead.
