Geyer Gets His Double

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Narendra Banwari raised to 95,000 in early position, and the table folded all the way around to the big blind where Adam Geyer shoved in for 615,000. Banwari spent a long while in the tank, stacking out the call to assess the potential damage. After a few minutes, he mustered the courage to stick it in there, and he was flipping for Geyer's tournament life.

Showdown
Banwari: {2-Clubs} {2-Spades}
Geyer: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

Geyer found his pair without delay as the flop came rolling out {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. The turn {7-Spades} and river {5-Hearts} kept his aces safe, and he's doubled his way up to 1.285 million, knocking Banwari all the way back to 1.25 million in the process.
