Christoforou Doubles Up

Level 33 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Andreas Christoforou raised to 1,250,000 from the button and Liran Twito made it 5,000,000. Christoforou shoved and Twito asked for a count. The floor confirmed Christoforou had 23,300,000 in total.

Twito tanked: "It's a close one!"

After a while, Twito decided to make the call.

Andreas Christoforou: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Liran Twito: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades} for Christoforou to stay ahead throughout the board and double up while the rail ran to the feature stage to celebrate.

The players have gone for a five-minute break.
