Estol Doubles Up
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
After Jerry Maher opened to 1,600,000 from early position and was called by Joseph Alban to his left, Manuel Estol decided to call from the big blind.
All three of them checked a flop of Q♦9♠K♠. But after Estol and Maher checked the A♦ turn, Alban bet 2,500,000. Estol raised all in for 2,800,000 and made Maher fold, while Alban made the call.
Manuel Estol: J♠10♠ 
Joseph Alban: A♥Q♥
Estol flopped a straight and even hit a flush with the 4♠ river, so he doubled up.
