Rughani Doubles Through Cikinas in Cooler Pot

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Matas Cikinas opened with a raise to 80,000 and he was called by Mike Cordell in the cutoff before Vivek Rughani made it 325,000 on the button. Action folded back to Cikinas who called while Cordell quickly got out of the way.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Cikinas checked to Rughani. Rughani put out a bet of 300,000 and Cikinas thought for a bit before moving all in with a covering stack for 400,000 more, effective. Rughani snap-called.

Vivek Rughani: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Matas Cinikas: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Both players had overpairs to the board and Cinikas didn't catch up on the {9-Hearts} turn or the {9-Diamonds} river, so Rughani earned a double.
