Artem Babakhanyan Doubles Through James Calderaro
Level 27
: 60,000/120,000, 0 ante
With about 400,000 already in the middle and the board reading 
, James Calderaro bet 200,000 from the big blind into his lone opponent, Artem Babakhanyan, who was under the gun. Babakhanyan moved all in for 715,000, and after a few moments of thought, Calderaro called to put Babakhanyan at risk.
Calderaro: 
Babakhanyan: 
Both players held straights, but Babakhanyan had the best of it with the ten-high straight against Calderaro's eight-high straight. The 
river changed nothing, and Babakhanyan took the pot to double up.
