Costa Finds Double Up
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ankit Ahuja raised with A?5? in early position to 500,000, and was called by Ruben Costa, who was in the big blind with Q?10?.
The flop ran out 10?5?10?. Both players got a piece of it, but Costa got the large part.
Costa checked, prompting Ahuja to bet 450,000. Costa then check-raised to 1,050,000 and Ahuja went all in, which covered his opponent. Costa snap-called with trip 10s.
The dealer placed 8? on the turn and Q? on the river, giving Costa a double up on a 7,272,000 pot and leaving Ahuja on fumes.
