Champ: Aglialoro Doubles

$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack NLH  

John Aglialoro opened for 60k early and action folded around to Melad Marji in the cutoff.  Melad raised to 155k and John called -- leaving himself only ~80k behind.

On the flop of Q J 8, John put his last ~80k in and got called.

John's pocket 4s were in bad shape against Melad's AJ (pair of Jacks).

Then the last two rolled off 2 4 and John caught his 2-outer on the river to survive and double-up to ~500k.

The loss didn't even put a scratch in Melad's monster stack.
