Ostrowski Doubles via Berlin
Level 25
: Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Devid Berlin opened to 175,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet jam by Dominik Ostrowski in the big blind to 1,025,000. Berlin made the quick call.
Dominik Ostrowski: K?Q? 
Devid Berlin: 9?9?
Berlin was ahead in a race, and the 10?3?J? flop was an action one, Ostrowski flopping an up and down straight draw to give him extra outs as well as his overcards.
To Berlin's disgust, the 9? rolled off on the turn to give Ostrowski the king-high straight, and the 2? river did not pair the board as Berlin required, sending Ostrowski a timely double-up.
