Mariano Finds a Double
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Jeffrey Gunnip raised to 1,100 in the cutoff and Tim Reilly called on the button. Rob Mariano then moved all in for 9,800 in the big blind, Gunnip called, while Reilly laid down two sixes.
Rob Mariano: A♠Q♥ 
Jeffrey Gunnip: K♠Q♣
Gunnip picked up a straight draw going to the river on a board of 5♠9♥6♣J♥, but Mariano's ace-kicker stayed in front on the J♠ as "Boston Rob" earned the double up.
"I was thinking about calling anyway," Reilly said after seeing he would've flopped a set.
