The Batt-Man

Action folded to Nicholas Batt in the small blind and he opened for 75,000. Javier Venegas was in the big with a bigger stack and simply moved all in. Batt called off for 759,000 and the cards were turned up.

Showdown

Venegas{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Batt{A-Spades}{J-Spades}

Venegas was behind, but not after the {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop. The {A-Clubs} turn improved him to two pair, but the {J-Hearts} river gave Batt a bigger two pair! It was a back-and-forth hand that ended in Batt's favor. He doubled to more than 1.5 million while Venegas was left with just 250,000.
