Saka Doubles Up
Level 42
: 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Alain Saka moved all in for 9,200,000 and Ermanno Di Nicola called from the big blind.
Alain Saka: A?J?
Ermanno Di Nicola: K?2?
Saka was ahead preflop but Di Nicola had live cards to seal the victory.
Saka hit top pair on the J?8?6? flop but Di Nicola could still win if he found a king on the turn or river. The 5?J? runout saw Saka improve to trip jacks to lock up the double up.
