Belikov Finds a Pulse and Doubles From Calingasan

It was the last hand before the break when Dimitri Belikov had his chips all-in and showed A♦ J♠ and made a full-house on a board that showed two more aces and a jack.
Carlo Calisangan was the unfortunate victim, who shipped over an extra 16,000 from his stack to Belikov and giving a crucial double-up and a little bit out of life support.

The T♦ landed on the turn, and both players checked to see the 3♥ river. Lai led out for 1,600 and Calingasan tanked briefly before making the call.
Lai tabled A♠ 6♣ for top pair, prompting Calingasan to muck and tap the table, saying, "Nice hand."
