In Level 2 with blinds of 200/400 and an ante of 50, "Razorgoto" limped under the gun and saw "Allyoucaneat" raise to 1,800. Action folded back to "Razorgoto" and they called.

With action heads up, the flop came and "Razorgoto" immediately led out, jamming to put "Allyoucaneat" to a decision for their stack of 21,100. "Allyoucaneat" quickly called.

"Allyoucaneat":
"Razorgoto":

"Allyoucaneat" had called off their stack with top two pair and needed only to fade running diamonds, eights, kings, or an ace-queen runout in order to stay alive via chop or double. The turn left them with just two chop outs to fade, and the river was safe to earn them the double.
