Sangannagari Doubles Through Affleck

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Peter Smyth raised to 25,000, and small blind Sridhar Sangannagari shoved in for 123,000. Matt Affleck considered awhile in the big blind and called. Smyth folded.

Sangannagari: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Affleck: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Affleck was in a dominating position, but the {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop turned the tables and left him in need of help. The {8-Hearts} turn gave him more outs to a straight or flush, but the {5-Diamonds} river improved Sangannagari.
