Ben's Bubble Double Trouble

What could have been a bubble hand has turned into a double-hand with Ben Paurini caught acting a little too aggressive.

The action started with a raise to 6,000 from Jonathan Karamalikis in the cutoff seat, with Paurini making the call from the button. Laidlaw was in the big blind when he squeezed out a 21,000-chip raise and managed to force Karamalikis to fold. Paurini would opt to stay in the hand as the {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs} was dealt on the flop.

Laidlaw led for 23,000 and Paurini made the call s the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn. When Laidlaw check up front, Paurini announced himself all-in. What might have been a good move turned to disaster when Laidlaw snap-called with {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} to leave Paurini needing some help with his {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The dealer revealed an {8-Hearts} on the river with no help for Laidlaw as he takes the hit and hand-for-hand pay continues.
