lyonsden6 Lands a Double on the Turn.

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

SouTheMan opened to 12,000 from middle position, ManOchaos called in the cutoff and lyonsden6 defended their big blind. The flop rolled out {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, action checked to ManOchaos, they bet 15,097 and lyonsden6 check-raised all for 58,765 total.

Action folded to ManOchaos who called and the two turned over their hands with lyonsden6 at risk.

lyonsden6: {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
ManOchaos: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

ManOchaos was ahead until the {4-Clubs} turn hit the felt, shifting the lead to lyonsden6 and their flush. A {q-Diamonds} river changed not a thing and lyonsden6 scooped the pot for a double.
