![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Under the gun, Ramana Epparla raised to 81,000, and Ari Engel defended his big blind with a call.
Heads-up, the flop came 
, and Engel used the ol' stop-and-go. He shoved in for 185,000, and Epparla called to put Engel at risk.
Showdown
Engel: 
Epparla: 
Epparla was ahead as the cards lay, but Engel was actually a slight favorite to win the pot and stay alive. He needed to pair up or catch a diamond, but the 
on the turn was the wrong shade of red. The river 
did the job, however, improving Engel to kings up and securing his double.
He's back to 582,000, having an up-and-down day of his own. Epparla falls back to about 1.3 million after donating that double.
Engel shoved the next two hands as well, and folds from the rest of the table allowed him to pick up another 90,000 each time.
