Micallef Cracks Kings to Double Through Rasins

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Matthew Micallef shoved for his last 4,600,000 from the cutoff and was called by Andris Rasins in the big blind to be put at risk.

Matthew Micallef: 8♠8♦ All in
Andris Rasins: K♣K♦

Micallef was in rough shape with his eights, but the 7♣8♣9♠ flop vaulted him into the lead with a set.

The 6♥ turn nor A♠ river changed anything and Micallef was awarded the double up.
