Andrew Sherman-Ash doubles
Andrew Sherman-Ash doubles

Andrew Sherman-Ash had the button and limped in. Artyem Perlov raised to 255,000, and Sherman-Ash called.

The flop fell {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Perlov checked, Sherman-Ash fired 300,000, and Perlov raised to 850,000. Sherman-Ash moved all in, and Perlov quickly called.

Sherman-Ash: {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Perlov: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Sherman-Ash had two pair, but any heart would give Perlov a flush and the championship. The turn was not a heart, but the {k-Spades} gave Perlov extra outs to make the best hand. Now, any six, king, ace, or heart would do it.

The {9-Clubs} was not one of those outs, and when it hit the river, Sherman-Ash doubled.
