Douglas Rockets into the Lead with Double KO
Eric Douglas opened from the hijack to 4,500 and was called by the Button, but then the Big Blind moved all in for 18,000, which both players called.
On the flop of J?8?4?, Douglas continued for 20,000 and was then raised to 55,000 by the Button, which he called.
The turn came the [Ks[ and Douglas checked to his opponent, who pondered for a few seconds before he moved all in for close to 85,000. Douglas took a deep breath and set out a stack of chips, putting the player at risk and the cards were on their backs.
Big Blind: A?Q?
Button: 8?5?
Eric Douglas: K?10?
"Woww, you got so lucky on the turn," the Button sighed at Douglas, shaking his head.
Douglas now needed to fade a non-club ace, ten, eight, or five to scoop, and the river 9? sealed his victory by giving him a king-high flush.
"Well, let's go get drunk!" the two players said as they exited the table while Douglas raked in the monster pot, propelling him into the chip lead.
