Hand #129 - Shankar Pillai Doubles Through Beth Shak

Hand #129 - Beth Shak has the button in seat 10, she raises to 225,000, Pillai moves all in from the big blind for 740,000, and Shak quickly calls with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Pillai shows {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, and he's a big favorite to double up here.

The flop comes {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, and Pillai retains the lead. The turn card is the {9-Hearts}, and the crowd has a mixed reaction because some briefly thought it was an eight.

The river card is the {6-Spades}, and Pillai wins the pot with two pair, aces and jacks, to double up in chips.
