Daiane Mendes Doubles Thru Gary Friedlander

Joining the pot on the river, the board shows [QhJc8s9cKc], and action is on Daiane Mendes. She has 338,000 chips left, and she moves them all in.

Gary Friedlander is her heads-up opponent, and he needs some time in the tank. Cutting down the chips, he realizes that the call represents nearly half his remaining stack. After some time, he does indeed call.

Mendes shows [AcTc], the nuts. Friedlander mucks and slips to 378,000, while an emotional Mendes doubles her way up to the million-chip mark.
