Bandiananthaiah Doubles Up
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Frederic Maniez raised to 1,000,000 from early position before Nagaraju Bandiananthaiah went all-in from the next seat over for 2,500,000.
Maniez made the call as the cards were on their backs.
Nagaraju Bandiananthaiah: A♥K♠
Frederic Maniez: A♦10♣
Bandiananthaiah was in prime position to double up, and the flop reinforced his position when it fanned out A♠2♦K♣ to give him top two pair.
Maniez gained a marginal toe hold on the 10♠ turn, but that was quickly dispelled when the K♦ river hit to give Bandiananthaiah the double-up.
