Escote Takes Double Knockout

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Cedric Schwaederle raised under the gun to 12,000. Sergi Escote moved all in from the hijack. Daniel Lee did likewisw from a seat over.

Schwaederle made the call with a covering stack.

Sergi Escote: J9All in
Daniel Lee: A9All in
Cedric Schwaederle: A9

In the runout K6K6A, Lee and Schwaederle each paired an ace on the river for top two pair and the split pot. The problem was they didn't know how to split Lee's bounty.

The floor came over and offered a solution: Lee paid cash for half the bounty chip.
