The 'Aart of the Double Up

Joep van den Bijgaart was down to just 400 chips when we strolled by his table, and just a tiny amount of tableside patience on our part was rewarded when the very next hand, he raised in early position. The gentleman on the button reraised, the blinds folded, van den Bijgaart called all in, and they were on their backs.

"You might have the best hand," said the player on the button, turning over {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

"No, I don't think so," said the still cheerful van den Bijgaart, and revealed {q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Board: a flush-tastic {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Van den Bijgaart doubled up, but is still in some trouble on 1,025.
