Montalto Doubles Through Kinkade

Vito Montalto opened the pot with a raise to 10,000. Jay Kinkade then moved all in, putting Montalto to a decision for all of his chips. Vito made the call and tabled a pocket pair of tens, happy to see that he had Kinkade's {10-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} quite dominated.

The board filled out {K-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} giving Montalto a scare (Kinkade had straight and flush draws by the turn), but ultimately he took down the pot with two pair, tens and nines.

After the hand, Kinkade dropped to 30,000 in chips while Montalto improved to approximately 100,000.
