Resto Doubles Through Grant

Alden Grant opened the action from under the gun to 8,000 with J♦J♦. The action folded around to Joey Resto in late position, who moved all in for 28,000. Grant made the call, and the cards were turned up with Resto at risk. Grant tabled his pocket jacks, while Resto showed K♠Q♥ and would need to improve to stay alive.

The flop came T♦A♣7♥, giving Resto a gutshot straight draw and two over cards. The K♣ on the turn gave Resto a pair of kings and the lead in the hand, and the A♠ on the river was no help and Resto scooped the pot. Resto doubled up to 65,000, but grant still had 120,000 after paying off the double-up.
