Hands #72-76: Laka Doubles Up Through Amato

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Hand #72: Jake Schindler raised all in for 1,060,000 from the small blind and David Peters folded the big blind.

Hand #73: David Laka raised all in from under the gun for 765,000, getting no calls and taking the pot uncontested.

Hand #74: Shawn Buchanan raised to 855,000 cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

Hand #75: Jeremy Wien raised to 160,000 from early position and took the pot with everyone folding.

Hand #76: David Laka shoved all in from the button for 765,000 and John Amato made the call.

Amato showed {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and would need help against Laka’s better {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Laka’s double-up chances further improved on a flop of {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and river {8-Hearts} to secure the needed double for Laka, leaving Amato as the new short stack at the table.
