Pekarskas Doubles

A raise to 850 from Dimitiros Leventis in early position was first called by Derek Kavanagh in the next seat along and then raised all-in for 7,000 more by Zigmas Pekarskas in the big blind. Leventis called the all-in bet, but Kavanagh folded.

"Have you got a pocket pair?" asked Levenits

"No." came the reply.

"I think you’re ahead anyway."

Leventis was correct, his :::Qh:::Jh trailed the all-in player’s :::Ac:::9s, but only until the :::4d:::Js:::2c flop. The :::Ad catapulted Pekarskas back into the lead and the river came the :::6c Pekarskas doubled his stack.
