Braude Doubles Christoforou Up

Level 30 : 120,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Andreas Christoforou
Andreas Christoforou

Andreas Christoforou shoved from the early position and Daniel Braude in the small blind asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Christoforou had 2,580,000 behind and Braude called. Anton Morgenstern quickly folded his big blind.

Andreas Christoforou: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Daniel Braude: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for Christoforou to play the two pair on the board with the ace-kicker to double up as Braude's pocket pair got counterfeited.
