Botta Doubles

Daniel Botta
Daniel Botta
With a limp from middle position, Daniel Botta popped it up to 1,600 to go. Andrew Topakas made the call on the button as did the limper, to see a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Action checked to Botta who fired 3,700. Topakas then announced a raise to 10,000 forcing the third player from the hand, before Botta moved all in for 10,675 in total. Topakas called off the extra chips.

Topakas: {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Botta: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Botta's overpair was well in front as Topakas had got a little aggro with his middle pair. The {A-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river didn't change anything and the 2009 Joe Hachem Deep Stack Series Main Event winner doubles up to 25,000 as Topakas slips to 57,000.
