The Double Up Festival Continues

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Sergio Aido moved all in from under the gun and the action folded to Mustapha Kanit in the big blind. Once the other table was finished, Kanit called for his last 370,000 and had a flip on the money bubble.

Mustapha Kanit: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Sergio Aido: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The board came {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Kanit doubled. Igor Kurganov walked up to him from the rail and asked "is that good?" and Kanit turned around, then joked loudly "it is damn good, now give me my money."

Not much later, Steve O'Dwyer pushed from the button. Mustapha Kanit folded his small blind, Sergio Aido called from the big blind.

Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Sergio Aido: {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop pared both. Nick Petrangelo came by and said to O'Dwyer "You got this."

It turned out, O'Dwyer didn't had it as the {8-Diamonds} hit the turn. The {6-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Aido doubled his 215,000 stack.
