Kateian Nearly Doubles - Without Showdown
Scott Kateian has been slowly working his way in from the table outskirts at the Rio Convention Centre today, starting off in the poker room (the actual poker room, in the casino proper) which comes into play when fields of this magnitude need to be accommodated. His stack, however, has been working its way down; when he arrived in Brasilia ("I'm finally on the stage!") he had only nine big blinds. He won a pot by getting a walk once, but that just kept him level.
Finally he picked up pocket aces, with 8.5bb remaining. It was opened preflop to 2,500 with one caller before action reached him and he moved all in. Neither player would put the rest in the pot to see a showdown, however, so he picked up 7,500 right there, enough for nearly a full double through.
