Amato's Two Pairs Hold
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
With action caught on the 
flop, John Amato was in the big blind, check-raising to 95,000 after Patrick Truong bet 23,000 in the cutoff. Truong called.
The 
landed on the turn and Amato shoved his remaining 255,000. It didn't take long before Truong made the call but he learned that his 
was trailing Amato's 
.
Amato had to dodge any ten, nine or an eight and he did so when the 
hit the river.
