Double Double for Ktorza

[user46392]

Down to his last 172,000, Philippe Ktorza got it in from the cutoff. Samuel Touil, who seems to have either limped or raised under the gun, made the call, and the cards were on their backs.

Ktorza: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

Touil:

{7-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

Board:

{9-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

Ktorza duly doubled up.

---

Just a hand or two later, and Ktorza got it in again, this time up against the pocket tens of Shane Schleger. Ktorza? Pocket aces. A third ace came on the turn for good measure, and in just moments Ktorza had gone from desperation to 800,000 in chips.
