Menhardt Doubles Up Before Break
Level 31
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Julian Menhard was in the hijack, using one time bank before raising to 2,400,000. Alvaro Gonza called in the big blind, and a flop of 10♦8♣6♠ fanned out.
Gonza checked to Menhardt, who spent another time bank before he bet 2,500,000. Gonza then quickly put his opponent all-in for 12,300,000, receiving a snap-call.
Julian Menhardt: J♥10♥ 
Alvaro Gonza: Q♣9♠
Menhardt had flopped top pair but needed to fade some outs. The K♠ turn did nothing for either player, nor did the K♣ river. Menhardt doubled up as the players went on their break.
