Nagami Doubles Through Karaliunas
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Simas Karaliunas raised to 20,000 from the cutoff with only Kyosuke Nagami calling from the big blind.
After Nagami checked the 10?8?6? flop, Karaliunas put out a continuation-bet of 20,000. Nagami quickly called.
Nagami checked again when the Q? fell on the turn and Karaliunas bet enough to put Nagami all in. Nagami called for his last 100,000.
Kyosuke Nagami: Q?8? 
Simas Karaliunas: A?J?
Nagami was ahead with two pair, but Karaliunas had a straight draw. The board-pairing 6? on the river meant Nagami earned the much-needed double-up.
