Carrera Pairs on River to Double Up
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Following a middle position open-raise to 1,600, Wissam Ouertani three-bet to 4,500 from the next seat across, then Rolando Carrera moved all in from the button with a short stack of 12,000. The original raiser folded and Ouertani made the call with the covering stack. Players turned their cards.
Rolando Carrera: A♦K♣ 
Wissam Ouertani: 9♠9♥
The board ran out Q♠6♣7♦4♦A♥ and Ouertani held until the river brought Carrera a pair of aces. He'd already began to stand up to leave, but the stand-up equity kicked in and he won the pot to double up his stack.
