Short Stack Double for Reading
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Stephen Sakai had extended his lead in a large pot that was checked on the Q?9?5?J?A? river when his A?K? for the top pair and top kicker was good enough to beat Valentino Konakchiev.
Soon after that, Jason Acosta jammed into John Reading in a blind battle with the latter at risk for just 80,000.
John Reading: A?5?
Jason Acosta: K?9?
Neither player connected with the Q?8?6?4?2? board and Reading kept his hopes of an even deeper run alive.
