Lightning Strikes Twice as Adato Doubles Through Schaefer Again
Level 31
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Dennis Schaefer opened to 250,000 from middle position and Asaf Adato three-bet to an even 1,000,000 from the hijack, leaving 600,000 behind. When it got back to Schaefer, he shoved, and Adato rechecked his cards before calling off the rest of his stack.
Asaf Adato: A♥A♦ 
Dennis Schaefer: A♣Q♥
Adato had the goods and just needed to fade the runout in order to double up. However, that was easier said than done as the K♣2♦J♦ flop gave Schaefer a Broadway draw. Luckily for Adato, no tens were in sight on the 2♥5♦ turn and river, which meant he doubled up.
