Broom Doubles Through Villandberg

James Broom has just doubled up through Andre Villandberg to move to 140,000 in chips.

On a flop showing {3-Spades} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs}, Broom checked to Villandberg who bet 10,000. Broom then raised to 25,000 and Villandberg countered by announcing, "All in," putting Broom to a decision for all of his chips. Broom quickly made the call and the cards were tabled:

Showdown:
Broom: {8-Spades} {5-Spades}
Villandberg: {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts}

A crowd swelled around the table to watch the dealer place the turn and river on the board... {J-Clubs}, {8-Clubs}.

With the eight on the river, Broom made a higher pair to clinch the hand and double through to 140,000 in chips. Villandberg was left with about 78,000 after the hand.
