Alavali Secures Double-Up

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Michael "imluckbox" Addamo opened the action with a raise to 16,000 from early position, receiving calls from Jargo "bungakat" Alavali in the next seat over and "BRzRoll" in the cutoff.

With the action on Matas "NoTilit" Cikinas on the button, a three-bet to 72,000 was put forth, which quickly got a fold from Addamo. Alavali had other plans, however, and went all-in for 168,924 chips. "BRzRoll" got out of the way before Cikinas made the call.

Jargo "bungakat" Alavali: A?Q?
Matas "NoTilit" Cikinas: A?4?

Cikinas brought the dominated preflop hand close to a flip on the J?6?K? board, but he bricked all his outs on the 2?Q? runout, resulting in a double-up for Alavali, while he was left with a mere 11 big blinds.
