Stephan Kernig Doubles Through

Stephan Kernig has just doubled through, thanks to Vladislav Bakalov.

"What have you got?" asked Bakalov as he mulled from the small blind, much to the amusement of the rest of the table.

His direct questioning fell on deaf ears, however, as Kernig, who had pushed in from the button, simply responded with a smile.

"Call!" announced Bakalov abruptly.

As Kernig tabled {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Bakalov dropped his head in his hands and meekly revealed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. "Yes!" exclaimed a jubilant Kernig, perhaps slightly premature in his celebrations.

But ultimately, he was justified in his joy as the board came {8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} to see his stack increase two fold and leave Bakalov with a now severely depleted stack.
