Pratis Picks a Good Spot

Peter Pratis raised to 600 under the gun, and the player in the cutoff seat re-raised to 1,600. When it came back to Pratis, he moved all-in for an additional 1,750, which his opponent called.

Pratis showed down {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} and was in good shape to double up against {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}.

The board ran {J-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {5-Spades} {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds}, and Pratis did indeed increase his stack two-fold.
