"horvYptr" Doubles With Two Pair

Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 62,500 ante

It was a battle of the blinds when "horvYptr" raised to 1,200,000, and Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles defended his big blind. The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and "horvYptr" continued for 1,500,000. Dorneles called, and the {4-Clubs} hit the turn.

"horvYptr" kept up the aggression with a bet of 4,500,000, and again, Dorneles opted to just call. The river brought the {k-Spades}, and "horvYptr" fired a third barrel, shoving all in for 5,849,054.

Dorneles called with {4-Spades}{2-Clubs} for two pair, but "horvYptr" had rivered a better two pair with {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, securing a double up of over 26 million chips.

"nielsvisker" Eliminated in 15th Place ($4,434)

Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 62,500 ante

"nielsvisker" raised to a million from under the gun, and on the button, "SiKCalL_A7" three bet to 2,750,000. "nielsvisker" called, leaving just a million chips behind, and those chips would go in the middle after the {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop.
