Murciano Holds to Double Off Serra

Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Alvaro Murciano raised to 320,000 in the cutoff and Michaelangelo Serra called on the button, as did big blind Angel Perez.
Action checked to Serra on the A?J?10? flop and he bet 600,000. Perez folded, while Murciano called to see the 8? turn. Serra then moved all in and Murciano called for his last 580,000.
Murciano showed Q?Q? and needed to hold up against Serra's 9?8? for straight and flush draws. The 9? river improved Murciano to a straight as he earned the double up.
