Eskandar and Lewis Double Through Elpayaa

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded to Joe Elpayaa on the button who raised to 30,000. Patrick Eskandar shipped all in for 140,000 in the small blind and Elpayaa quickly called. Elpayaa tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Eskandar held two live cards with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and Eskandar doubled up with two pair.

In the next hand, Austin Lewis opened to 30,000 and Elpayaa three-bet to 100,000. The action was back on Lewis who instantly shoved all in for 250,000. Elpayaa asked for a rough count and then made the call.

Lewis was in a dominating position with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} against the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} of Elpayaa. Both players flopped a pair on the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop but Lewis remained in the lead. The {4-Spades} on the turn and the {5-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing as Lewis also doubled through Elpayaa.
