A "Masterful" Double

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Shankar Pillai raised to 850 in early position, fellow WSOP bracelet winner Men "The Master" Nguyen called in the cutoff, and Mike Gagliano called out of the small blind.

The dealer fanned {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Gagliano checked, and Pillai fired out 1,500. Nguyen immediately moved all in for an additional 3,825, Gagliano folded, and Pillai called.

Pillai: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The set of fours held as the turn and river bricked {5-Diamonds}, {10-Spades} respectively, and Nguyen doubled to 15,000 chips. Pillai is still very healthy at 46,000.
