Guedes Doubles via Michot
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Laurent Michot opened to 4,500, only to be met with a three-bet to 16,000 by Wellington Lessa Guedes.
Action folded back to Michot, who moved all in with the covering stack. After some thought, Guedes made the call, moving his 44,500 stack into the middle.
Wellington Lessa Guedes: A♠K♦ 
Laurent Michot: 9♠9♦
Michot was ahead in a race, but the A♣5♦8♣ flop put Guedes into the lead with a pair of aces, which he would not relinquish on the 2♣ turn and 5♥ river, giving him a timely double-up.
