Torelli Turns the Double through Dirmantas
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alec Torelli raised to 400,000 from under the gun and Gediminas Dirmantas moved all in from the small blind. Torelli took some time before moving some of his 3,900,000 stack in to make the call.
Alec Torelli: 9♠9♥
Gediminas Dirmantas: K♠J♠
Torelli was ahead and looking to hold, but the Dirmantas hit top pair on the 2♦K♦10♦ flop, with Torelli then calling for a "nine".
The turn came the 9♦, propelling Torelli back into the lead but bringing the diamond chop sweat.
The 8♥ river sealed the double for Torelli and Dirmantas lost a chunk of his stack.
