Knitter Threads the Needle

[user66118]

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

First in from middle position, Sean Knitter opened the pot to 40,000, and Ramana Epparla three-bet to 140,000 in position. When the action passed back around to Knitter, he shoved in for 182,000 total. Epparla called with the {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} , and Knitter's {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} was a small favorite to keep him alive.

The board ran out {10-Spades} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} , and that's safe and sound for Knitter. He's found the double to 406,000, while Epparla slides back a step to 1.72 million.
