Dato Snaps Off Doe
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Xiang Lian raised to 60,000 under the gun as action folded to Andrea Dato on the button. "One hundred and thirty-five thousand," he said as he put in a reraise. Lian quickly folded.
The next hand, Yasen Dichev raised to 60,000 in the hijack. "One hundred and sixty-five," Dato said this time as he three-bet in the cutoff. John Doe four-bet to 300,000 on the button and Dichev folded, but Dato called.
The flop came 10♥J♠4♣ and Doe moved all in for 200,000. Dato snap-called.
John Doe: K♥J♦
Andrea Dato: A♥J♥
Both players had hit top pair, but Dato was ahead with his ace and remained in front through the 3♦ turn and 2♦ river to send Doe to the rail.
