Ufano Finds a Double
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Tyler Patterson opened from early position and Jorge Ufano jammed for 79,000 on the button. Elliot Smith was his only challenger from big blind as Patterson mucked.
Jorge Ufano: A♣K♥
Elliot Smith: Q♥Q♣
Despite getting it in slightly behind, the K♦2♥10♠ flop saw Ufano pick up top pair. The 8♥ turn and 4♥ river saw to the double up, and Ufano sat back with just over 200,000 chips.
He was willing to risk some of his stack in the next hand as Nils Pudel moved all in for 76,000 from middle position and Ufano called from the cutoff.
Nils Pudel: A♠Q♣
Jorge Ufano: A♦J♥
The 5♥4♠K♦ flop didn't change much and both missed the 5♣ turn. As the K♠ river double paired the board, the players chopped the pot.
