Chai Scores Another Double

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Chai raised to 115,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Roman Shainiuk, who was on the button and called. Action went heads up to a flop of {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Chai checked to Shainiuk, who bet 300,000. Chai called.

The turn came {q-Diamonds} and Chai check-called another bet of 400,000 from Shainiuk. The river fell {8-Clubs}.

"All in," said Chai.

"Call," said the dealer immediately after as Shainiuk had dropped in a chip to call.

Chai tabled {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for aces up, having shoved after completing his two pair on the river.

Shainiuk dejectedly turned over {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}, showing he had been ahead until the final card of the hand. Nonetheless, he paid off the 875,000 that Chai had remaining, putting him to just over 1.5 million in chips. Meanwhile, Chai has assumed the chip lead with a stack of just shy of 3.5 million in chips.
