Lopez Doubles Up

Tyler Boyer

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A player on the button moved all in for 130,000, and Francisco Lopez in the small blind made the call for his last 46,000. Once the big blind folded, it was the two players heads up, with Lopez at risk.

Francisco Lopez: A♥10♦ All in
Button: A♠8♠

Lopez was in a great spot for the double, and after the board ran out Q♥3♦2♦5♥6♣ the ace-ten high was still best, to give him the double up.

A few moments later David Levy was seen exiting the tournament area, as he was eliminated.
