Kanik Doubles Through Peters
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Eran Carmi raised the button to 70,000 and was called by Ersin Kanik and Alexander Hepting in the blinds. They checked to him on the 8♠5♠5♣ flop, and Carmi repeated his wager of 70,000. Kanik folded, but Hepting had other plans with a check-raise to 250,000, which forced out Carmi.
Two hands later, Tobias Peters defended the big blind against Kanik's button play, and they got it in after the 9♣6♦2♦K♥ turn.
Ersin Kanik: Q♦Q♠2♣2♥ 
Tobias Peters: K♣9♥8♣2♠
Peters' top two pair needed to improve to beat Kanik's set of deuces, but the 5♣ river ensured the double of Kanik for 435,000.
