Lupovich Drinking Double

Jason Helder opened with a raise to 28,000 from early position, and Eric Lupovich reraised to 120,000 a few seats down the line. When it came back around the table, Helder moved all in, and Lupovich called all in for a total of 270,000.

Showdown
Helder: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Lupovich: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

The board would run safe for the all-in player and his tens. It showed up {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. With his three pair, Lupovich earns a big double up to 560,000. He's not hot on the heels of Helder's 580,000.
