Ernst Earns the Double

donpeters

Ernst Hermans three-bet shoved for 160,000 over the top of Mladen Ivin's raise. Ivin had opened from the small blind after action folded to him for 26,000. Hermans was in the big blind.

Ivin made the call and held the smallest pocket pair one could hold, pocket deuces. His {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

was up against Hermans' {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

.

After flopping top pair, Hermans went on to double through as the board ran out {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

. He now has 350,000 chips while Ivin dropped down to 110,000 and now has less than 10 big blinds.
