Ved Doubles Through Deeb

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

While the action is unknown Kartik Ved was all in for a bit over 500,000 and he had been called by Shaun Deeb who had a covering stack.

Shaun Deeb: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Kartik Ved: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The board showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and that meant that Ved would earn a full double from Deeb to over one million. Deeb, on the other hand, was left with about 1.2 million after sending over the chips.
