Mendoza Doubles His Short Stack
Level 26
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where James Mendoza shoved for his last 350,000 in the small blind. Ivan Zhang called in the big blind and a showdown was held.
James Mendoza: K♦10♦
Ivan Zhang: 5♣2♦
Mendoza just needed to fade Zhang's live cards to survive, and did just that on the 10♣J♦J♣7♥A♦ runout to give Mendoza a much-needed double up.
