One had less than half a buy-in, the other had about 3/4 of a buy-in. I had nearly a full buy-in and easily had them covered. I decided to push reckoning the first raiser might fold. They both called.

When they turned over the cards I knew I was in good shape. One had A-10, the other 10-10. Now the guy with A-10 was the original raiser and had the 3/4 of a buy in, so I don't know why he called. And the 10-10 had only the slimmest chance of hitting that last 10.

Well the aces held up nicely with only a marginal scare. A Jack on the river would have handed out a straight to the other 2 guys.

It's always good to see hands that cancel each other out - and thank God for donk calls
