Dato Doubles Through Rossiter

Andrea Dato has just doubled up through Australia's Jeffrey Rossiter over on Table 2.

A preflop raising war broke between Dato and Rossiter that resulted n the former being all in and at risk of elimination, but once the cards were turned onto their backs Dato's chances of staying in the WPT Malta main event massively increased.

Dato{A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Rossiter{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Rossiter caught up slightly when the {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop came down but the {A-Hearts} on the turn meant he was drawing dead. The {3-Spades} river completed the hand and Rossiter was asked to give Rossiter 44,975 chips. The Aussie obviously wasn't happy but he still has 73,000 and is still in a very healthy position.
