Stuach Doubles through Mahdavi
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Benjamin Stauch put out 210,000 from early position, leaving only 5,000 behind. Mahmood Mahdavi made the call from the next seat over before the rest of the table folded.
The flop came 3♣9♥Q♦ before Stauch flicked in his final 5,000. Mahdvai called to put Stauch at risk.
Benjamin Stauch: 10♠10♥
Mahmood Mahdavi: A♠K♣
Stauch was ahead with two cards to go. The 10♣ turn shut down a lot of Mahdavi's outs, but he was not dead, as he could still spike a jack for a straight.
The 5♦ river was safe for Stauch to the secure the double-up.
