Ahuja’s Full House Doubles Up
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
PokerNews jumped into the action with the flop revealing 5♣A♠A♥ and a pot sitting at about 17,000. Ankit Ahuja, in the small blind, checked it over to Patrick Baranyai, who responded with a bet of 5,000. Ahuja wasn’t having any of it and raised to 12,500, prompting Baranyai to call.
When the 9♣ hit on the turn, Ahuja checked again, but Baranyai decided it was time to push all in, covering Ahuja’s stack. Ahuja didn’t hesitate and snap-called, showing 9♦9♠ for a full house. Baranyai turned over K♣9♥ for two pair, but it wasn’t going to cut it this time.
The river brought the 4♠, sealing the deal for Ahuja’s double-up while Baranyai was left to trim down some of his still impressive stack.
