Williams Scores a Double KO

Adam Lamers

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Chris Williams opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Patrick Donohoe shoved all in for 22,000 on his left. Peter Sweeney reraised to 55,000 in the hijack and the action folded back to Williams who moved all in. Sweeney paused for a moment before sticking in the last of his 130,000 chips.

Patrick Donohoe: K♣J♥
Peter Sweeney: A♣Q♠
Chris Williams: Q♥Q♦

The flop came 5♣2♠2♥ and Williams was still holding a comfortable lead with his pair of queens. The 4♣ on the turn gave Sweeney a wheel draw but the 7♦ on the river was a brick.
