Atkins Doubles To Over 1 Million

Travis Atkins raised to 70,000 from the cutoff preflop and Yashar Darian made the call from the big blind.

The flop came {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Darian bet out 85,000. Atkins quickly made the call.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Darian checked. Atkins counted out 150,000 and threw it into the pot. Darian considered the action then re-raised all in with an insta-call from Atkins for 540,000 total.

Darian flipped over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for trip tens, but Atikins had {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for trip tens with the superior kicker. The river was the {J-Hearts} and Atkins took down the big pot. He now sits with over a million chips but Darian is still comfortable with over two million.
