Popular poker vlogger, Kiran Raina opened under the gun to 3,000 and got a call from the button player before the big blind put in the cold three-bet to 15,000.
Raina took his time and opted to four-bet jam for his remaining 51,500. The button quickly got out of the way and the big blind called.
Kiran Raina: A♠K♠
Button Player: Q♣Q♦
The J♠10♦6♠ flop gave Raina a combo draw.
The 2♦ turn brought no help but the 3♠ river gave Raina the nuts and a pure double.
After a few more small pots, Raina is healthy heading into Level 10.

While winning a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet is one of the greatest accomplishments a poker player can achieve, many of the greatest and most successful players in the game have yet to put one on their wrists.
PokerNews has had a decent track record with highlighting players without bracelets who have gone on to win them. Jason Koon won a maiden bracelet in 2021 after making the "Best Without a Bracelet" list that year, while Dan Smith and Alex Foxen both found bracelets in 2022 to be removed from that year's list.
With the 2023 WSOP happening now, here's a look at some of the best players who have yet to add a World Series bracelet to their long lists of accolades.
With four callers to his big blind (including Steven Thompson in the small blind,) Rick Bagley moved all in for approximately 50,000. He was then able to take most of his chips back, as his only caller was his opponent with a shorter stack under the gun.
Opponent: 7♥6♥
Bagley: A♠Q♦
The board came out J♥5♦8♦3♥10♦ which gave Bagley the pot and sent his opponent away.
