D'Auria Doubles through Arjang

Donnie D'Auria

Donnie D'Auria, the WPT Boot Camp freeroller, lives on in this tournament. He took a limped flop of {3-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades} with Payman Arjang. Arjang acted first and bet 25,000; D'Auria raised to 85,000.

Arjang quickly called to a turn of {A-Spades}, then moved all in. He was actually putting D'Auria all in for about 300,000 chips. D'Auria tanked for three minutes before calling with {8-Diamonds} {5-Spades}, middle pair and a small flush draw. Both were good, as Arjang showed down {8-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. The {J-Spades} that fell on the river made a flush for D'Auria and gave him the double-up. He now has 850,000 chips; Arjang, who started the day with 1.4 million, is down to 390,000.
