Psychic Simunic Doubles Up

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

It was all in preflop between Christopher Frank and Josip Simunic, who was looking for a small double up through the big stacked German. However, it was looking good for Simunic who held {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} against the German's {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts} giving Frank a pair of jacks. The turn was the {10-Spades} giving Simunic a straight draw.

"The Queen of Hearts, please," said Simunic, and the river came the {q-Hearts} completing Simunic's straight. "Thank you," he said to the board and/or dealer, and he doubled up.

Frank is sitting on over 120,000 chips and looks to be the chip leader as we approach the dinner break.
