Joseph Renzi Doubles Thru Casey Yontz

Casey Yontz raises from the hijack, Joseph Renzi calls form the small blind, and Kevin Calenzo calls from the big blind.

The flop comes J94, Renzi checks, and Calenzo bets 85,000. Yontz calls, and Renzi check-raises all in for 490,000. Calenzo folds.

Yontz calls with QJ for a pair of jacks, and Renzi turns over AJ for a pair of jacks with a higher kicker, plus a heart flush draw. Renzi needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn is the A, the river is the 9, and Renzi wins the pot with two pair, aces and jacks, to double up in chips.

Joseph Renzi  –  1,200,000  (40 bb)
Casey Yontz  –  1,095,000  (36 bb)
