Black Doubles Once Before the Long Goodbye

Andy Black managed to double one time, beating Alex Kostritsyn by making a pair of tens on the river after Kostritsyn completely bricked out. A few hands later, Black was in again. He and Freddie Ellis were heads-up to fourth street. With an open pair, Ellis made a double-bet. Black raised all in and Ellis, with two pair already, called. Black had a split pair of eights and two overcards, but Ellis filled up to deuces full of treys on fifth street. Black was drawing dead by sixth street.
"Well done," he said to Ellis before heading for the exit to the Amazon Room.
