Tanaka Doubles Through Barat

A player in late position limped and Botond Barat limped behind from the cutoff only to see Yusuke Tanaka raise to 20,000 from the button.

Both the late position player and Barat called to see the 10♦9♣2♠ flop.

The late position player and Barat checked over to Tanaka who continued for 50,000. The player in late position folded and Barat paused to ponder his action.

After a moment, he asked how much was in the middle before announcing "pot," which amounted to a check-raise to 220,000. Tanaka didn't wait long before raising all in for a little more and Barat called to put Tanaka at risk and headed to a runout.

Yusuke Tanaka: A♦10♣9♦8♥
Botond Barat: Q♦Q♠J♦2♦

Tanaka was in the lead but needed to fade some outs as the turn and river ran out the J♣ and 7♦, giving him a straight and securing a full double-up that left Barat nursing a now-tiny stack.
