O'Connell Rivers Hamlet For Double

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up with both Brandon Hamlet and Drew O'Connell both all in preflop, and the latter at risk.

Drew O'Connell: A♠J♠ All in
Brandon Hamlet: 8♠8♦

The 2♠K♣9♥ flop kept Hamlet in the lead, and nothing changed on the 7♦ turn. The A♦ river changed everything, though, as O'Connell found a Greenstein to secure a massive double up.
