Iannotti Takes Chunk from Austin
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Lance Austin raised to 2,500 from middle position before Dustin Iannotti chose to re-raise to 8,500 from the hijack. Albert Tapia chose to call from the big blind, but Austin elected to put a pile of chips towards the middle, which was enough to cover Iannotti and Tapia. Iannotti was not going anywhere and made the call to put his tournament at risk. Tapia got out of the fray with a fold.
Dustin Iannotti: K♦K♥
Lance Austin: Q♠Q♣
Iannotti was in the advantageous position of having a better pocket pair, and his kings held on the runout of 6♦A♦10♠J♦6♥ to secure the double up through Austin.
