Botond Snags a Double From Behind

Balazs Botond open shoved his stack of 240,000 and received a call from James Mackey in the big blind.

When Botond tabled his {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, he was behind and in need of help against Mackey's {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The {4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} was practically gin for Botond as he took the lead, however he would still need to dodge plenty of cards.

The {8-Clubs} turn and the {2-Diamonds} river were great for Botond as he took the double and put a small dent in Mackey's stack.
