Amato's Two Pairs Hold

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

With action caught on the {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, John Amato was in the big blind, check-raising to 95,000 after Patrick Truong bet 23,000 in the cutoff. Truong called.

The {8-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Amato shoved his remaining 255,000. It didn't take long before Truong made the call but he learned that his {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} was trailing Amato's {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Amato had to dodge any ten, nine or an eight and he did so when the {J-Hearts} hit the river.
