Kevin Calenzo Doubles Thru Joshua Lawson

Justin Liberto min-raises under the gun to 60,000, Kevin Calenzo moves all in from the small blind for 775,000, and Joshua Lawson moves all in over the top from the big blind. Liberto folds.

Calenzo shows AK, and he needs it to hold to stay alive against Lawson’s JJ. Calenzo stands up and says, “I gotta stand up for this one.”

The board comes Q4310J — Lawson rivers a set of jacks, but the same card gives Calenzo an ace-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips.

Kevin Calenzo  –  1,655,000  (55 bb)
Joshua Lawson  –  190,000  (6 bb)
