Landreth Doubles with Aces
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The very first hand to be played out during the hand-for-hand process saw Johnny Landreth open to 16,000 from under the gun. Kohei Arai shoved all in as the big stack in the big blind and Landreth quickly called off his stack of 120,000.
Johnny Landreth: A♠A♥
Kohei Arai: A♣K♥
The flop came 6♠6♦2♥ and Landreth was in a prime position to double up with his pocket aces. The 5♠ on the turn locked it up for Landreth and the K♠ on the river was just a formality.
