Franco Doubles; Bowers Chips Up
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Elie Nakache raised to 200,000 and was called by Jonathan Bowers in the cutoff and Amit Ben Yacov in the big blind. The flop came A♠10♥4♠ and Ben Yacov reluctantly folded when Nakache bet 250,000 and Bowers called.
They checked down the 8♠ turn and 7♠ river for Nakache to show the A♥J♥7♦2♠. Bowers had that beat with the A♣K♦Q♥8♥ to win the pot.
One table over, Mandy Calara raised it up and then got it in against Sonny Franco for 960,000 preflop.
Sonny Franco: K♠K♦9♠6♥ 
Mandy Calara: A♦Q♦J♥10♠
The Q♠J♦3♥10♥5♥ board gave Franco a king-high straight for the double.
