Nelson Doubles

From the button with the blinds at 1,200/2,400/400, Tony Bloom raised to 5,700. Lee Nelson reraised all in from the big blind for about 30,000 and Bloom called.

Bloom: {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Nelson: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The flop came down {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Bloom picked up a pair of sevens to keep his lead. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and added a flush draw for Nelson before he spiked the {J-Spades} on the river to double up.

Bloom Doubles Through Nelson

Tony Bloom raised on the button to 5,800 and action folded to Lee Nelson in the big blind. Once again, he moved all in over the top of Bloom's raise and Bloom made the call. Here's what we saw this time:

Bloom: {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Nelson: {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

The flop, turn and river ran out {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Bloom's ace-nine held up. He was all in for around 53,000 and Nelson was left with just 5,000 in chips after doubling him up.
