Belardo Gets A Double On The River
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was picked up on the river in a pot between Celeste Belardo in late position and another player in the blinds.
With a significant pot brewing, the big blind checked to Belardo who moved all in for 55,000 on a board reading 9x6x9x10xQx.
The big blind asked for a count before calling and both hands were turned over.
Big blind: 9♣2♦
Celeste Belardo: A♥9♦
Both players held three nines, but it was Belardo's ace-kicker that held strong to double up as the night came closer to the end.
