Traut Doubles Through Diac
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
When it folded to Heinz Traut in the small blind, he jammed for 885,000, causing Catalin Diac to go into the tank from the big blind. After giving it some thought, Diac called to put Traut at risk.
Heinz Traut: A♣8♥ 
Catalin Diac: J♣8♠
Traut had Diac dominated with his ace-kicker as the dealer produced a flop of A♠6♥2♠ to propel Traut even further into the lead with top pair. The rest of the board came 3♦6♦ and Traut fist bumped the air in celebration at doubling up.
After the hand, Traut commented to Diac that he should not have called his shove with jack-eight.
