Jachtmann Doubles Through La Francesca
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Just when Ioannis Angelou Konstas joined the tournament and the table, the flop read 2♥K♣J♣ with around 160,000 in the middle already.
Alessio La Francesca was sitting in the small blind and put pressure on Jan-Peter Jachtmann in the hijack by shoving with the bigger stack. Jachtmann called quite quickly for his tournament life with his last 83,000.
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: Q♦10♠ 
Alessio La Francesca: Q♠J♠
La Francesca had flopped middle pair while Jachtmann was sitting on an open-ended straight draw.
The rest of the board was completed with the 8♥ on the turn and the 9♠ for Jachtmann to hit that straight on the river to double up.
