Place Extends Lead with Double KO
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Johnnie "Mike" Place opened from middle position before the small blind jammed for 31,000. The big blind then rejammed for 46,500 before Place called to put both players at risk.
Small Blind: A♥Q♦ 
Big Blind: 10♥10♣
Johnnie "Mike" Place: J♥J♦
Place was in good shape against the big blind but needed to fade the two overs of the small blind. The 8♠6♣2♣ flop kept Place in front before the board ran out 2♥5♠ which was no sweat for Place as he took out two players and extended his lead atop the chip counts.
