Strzemp Doubles

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

John Strzemp,1997 World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up, was under the gun and moved all in for his last 10,500. The button was the only caller and the cards were turned up:

Strzemp: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Button: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Strzemp was in big trouble as the flop came down {7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades}. He had hit his jack but was still needed help. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn gave him a flush draw. On the river, the dealer put out the {3-Diamonds} and gave Strzemp the flush. He doubled on the hand to a little over 21,000, which is still well short of average.
