Mehdi Alaei Doubles

On a flop of {J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} Shoaib Makani lead out for 25,000, only to have Mehdi Alaei make it 80,000 to go.

With the action back on Makani, he re-raised all in and Alaei making the call for his tournament life.

Makani: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Alaei: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

With Makani behind but drawing to a flush or two-pair he would see the {2-Clubs} fall on the turn and {Q-Clubs} on the river to slip to 66,000 as Alaei doubles to 523,000 in chips.
