Lindqwist Doubles Up with a Straight Against Dato's Aces

Andrea Dato kicked off the action on the button with a raise to 12,000, but Erik Lindqwist in the small blind wasn’t backing down, three-betting to 45,000. Dato called.

On the J♠Q♣J♣ flop, Lindqwist kept the pressure on with an 18,000 continuation bet, and Dato called again.

When the 10♥ hit the turn, Lindqwist took his time, using his entire time bank plus an additional card, before shoving all in. Dato asked for a count, and when the dealer confirmed 188,000, he needed a time bank card of his own before making the call, bringing the hand to showdown.

Lindqwist revealed A♠K♠ for a turned straight, while Dato held A♥A♣ for aces up. Dato needed help from the river to improve or hope for a chop, but the 7♠ didn’t deliver. Lindqwist secured a huge double-up.
