Laurila, Orth Double

Michael Falcon raised to 55,000 in middle position before Tero Laurila three-bet to 125,000 on the button. Falcon then moved all in. "You can't fold now," Falcon told him as Laurila put in his time banks while he considered the decision for his last few chips.

"Pay jump," Laurila replied, looking around the room for a few minutes before calling.

Tero Laurila: K♦K♣ All in
Michael Falcon: 4♣4♥

Laurila had little to worry about, as his kings had Falcon dominated and the A♣Q♥3♥5♥8♣ board earned him the double up.

At another table, Martin Fernandez had opened to 40,000 in middle position and Stephane Verdier called on the button. Alexander Orth then moved all in for 195,000 in the big blind, and only Fernandez called.

Alexander Orth: Q♠Q♦ All in
Martin Fernandez: A♥Q♣

Orth needed to avoid an ace to stay alive, and he dodged the 8♥7♣4♣6♣6♦ board to double up.
