Saka Doubles Up
Level 42
: 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Alain Saka moved all in for 9,200,000 and Ermanno Di Nicola called from the big blind.
Alain Saka: A♣J♣
Ermanno Di Nicola: K♣2♣
Saka was ahead preflop but Di Nicola had live cards to seal the victory.
Saka hit top pair on the J♦8♠6♣ flop but Di Nicola could still win if he found a king on the turn or river. The 5♦J♠ runout saw Saka improve to trip jacks to lock up the double up.
