After an early position limp, Mimi Luu made it 4,000 from the cutoff. In the small blind, Miralem Mujkic three-bet to 12,500. Aaron Davis then immediately shoved for 13,100 from the big blind. Luu folded after some deliberation and Mujkic sighed as he called 600 more.
Aaron Davis: 10♠10♣
Miralem Mujkic: A♠4♦
Mujkic got caught with his hand in the cookie jar but the J♥4♣2♠ flop improved him to five outs. However, the 7♠8♦ runout was safe for Davis as he collected the full double with some overlay.
