Uppala Doubles, Then Exits

Rakesh Uppala moved all in under-the-gun and the action folded around to Greg Merkow who made the call to put him at risk.


Uppala: [AcJh]

Merkow: [6s6c]


Uppala would need to improve to stay alive, and the board gave him the help he needed as it came [Js4c5sKcAd] to give him two pair to secure the double.


Unfortunately, this victory was short-lived as he got it all in the very next hand with pocket nines but ran into the pocket kings of Eric Hernandez. The runout of [7d4c7h5hJs] failed to save him this time and he was sent to the rail while Hernndez chipped up.


Merkow - 190,000

Hernandez - 585,000
