Level 36
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Following an open to 80,000 from "xGGJ88x" on the button and a call by the small blind, "zÿax" moved all in with the effective stack of 819,575. The opener made the call before the small blind got out of the way.
"zÿax": 10♦K♠
"xGGJ988x": 5♥5♦
In a typical pocket pair vs two over cards race, the over cards pulled out to a commanding lead on the 4♠3♠K♥ flop. The 8♦ turn and 2♠ river were of no help to the pocket pair, and "zÿax" secured the double up.
