'shaniac' Doubles Up

Well-known online pro Shane 'shaniac' Shleger has just doubled up through Australian pro Sam Youssef and assumed the tournament chip lead.

Three players entered the pot for 300 each and the flop came {10-Hearts}

. All three players contesting the pot checked, opting to see a free turn card, which was the {5-Clubs}

. Action then checked around to Shleger on the button, who tossed 600 worth of chips into the middle. When the action returned to Youssef, he put Shleger all in with a bet of over 10,000 in chips. Shleger immediately made the call and turned over {10-Spades}

for the absolute nuts; Youssef revealed the {A-Clubs}

.

Youssef ended up making two pair on the river when the {A-Diamonds}

popped off, but to no avail, as it also gave Shleger a full house.

After the hand, Shleger stacked up over 16,000 in chips while Youssef dropped to just under 6,000.
