Finger Catches Fortunate Double Up

Martin Finger
Martin Finger

There was a raise to 4,000 from under the gun and his raise started off a whole lot of action!

First Maxin Panyak, seated to Romanovskyi's direct left, made the call, then Said Chichba called two to his left. Hakan Dalokay folded and the action was on Martin Finger. He composed himself before moving all in for 24,700 chips.

[Removed:167] was in the small blind and he re-shoved in an attempt to isolate Finger and his plan worked as the other active players folded their hands.

Ehrhardt:{J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Finger:{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Finger was in serious danger of being sent to the rail but he must have made a sacrifice to the Poker Gods this morning as the board ran out {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} gifting Finger the most unlikely of straights and he now has a workable 53,000 stack.
