Abed Doubles via Montes
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ludovic Kis opened to 31,000 in early position and was faced with a three-bet to 80,000 by Redouane Abed. Action folded to Vincent Montes in the big blind, who moved all in for about 830,000, covering both players. Kis got out of the way but Abed quickly called to put himself at risk.
Redouane Abed: Q♣Q♠ 
Vincent Montes: A♦K♥
Abed was ahead in the classic race, and remained so after the J♥5♠10♣8♠6♥ runout, sending him a big double-up.
