Tavanese's Turn to Double!

Foster Hayes limped in from under the gun and the action folded around to Stanley Tavanese who raised all-in for 475,000. Hays snap-called, tabling {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but was in a world of hurt against Tavanese's {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

Tavanese improved to two pair after the flop of {8-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, but Hays had a chance to score the first elimination of the night with the gut-shot straight draw. However, Tavanese didn't break the streak as the turn and river ran out {7-Spades}, {8-Hearts} to score the double-up.
