Two Pair Okay for Oktay

Oktay Altinbas limped in from the cutoff, Gregg Merkow completed from the small blind, and Kirill Gerasimov checked from the BB. The flop came {A-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and the blinds checked to Altinbas who bet 20,000. Merkow check-raised to 60,000, Gerasimov folded, then Altinbas pushed all in for his last 120,000 or so. Merkow called, turning over A-10, but Altinbas was ahead with A-8.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and the river the {4-Hearts}, and Altinbas doubles to 285,000. Merkow falls back under 800,000 on that one.
