Puente Survives a Flip
Level 6
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A player in middle position raised to 1,500 and Manuel Puente called in the hijack. Fernando Banda also called in the small blind before the big blind three-bet to 3,500.
Action folded to Puente who moved all in for 28,500. Banda quickly folded, but the big blind called to put Puente at risk.
Manuel Puente: A?K? 
Opponent: 10?10?
Puente remained behind and at risk as the flop came Q?2?2?, but he caught the A? on the turn to make two pair. The river was the 7? and Puente doubled up.
