Not All Canadians Hold Hands: Srinivasan Finds Huge Double Through Guay

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Shyam Srinivasan

Action folded to David Guay in the cutoff, and he raised to 85,000. Shyam Srinivasan three-bet to 315,000 from the small blind and after thinking for about a minute, Guay four-bet to 2,085,000. Srinivasan didn't think twice and piled his stack worth 1,945,000 into the middle. Guay called.

Srinivasan was at risk but well ahead with {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} up against Guay's {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and Srinivasan paired his king to extend his lead much further. The turn was the {6-Spades}, and Guay was drawing dead to the {5-Hearts} on the river.

Canadians may have a reputation for being nice and apologizing for anything and everything, but these two certainly came to battle.
