Sheth Holds for Huge Double
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Anze Smajd raised to 160,000 from the hijack and faced a three-bet to 440,000 from Ravi Sheth on the button. Smajd responded with a four-bet shove, and Sheth called straight away, putting his 1,975,000 at risk.
Ravi Sheth: A♦K♥
Anze Smajd: Q♦J♦
Sheth stood up from his seat to watch the runout, hoping not to be the player who burst the final table bubble.
"I don't want two pair", Sheth said upon seeing the 10♦7♠A♠ flop.
The deck was forthcoming with his request, as the 3♠ turn and Q♥ river completed the board, ensuring Sheth a full double-up.
