Borau Doubles on First Hand
Spain's Jorge Borau started today with a stack of 21,375 but he has just doubled up on the very first hand he played, thanks to being dealt pocket rockets.
Jens Kläning opened the betting with a raise to 1,300 from middle position and when the action folded to Borau in the cutoff he wasted very little time in making it 3,500 to play. Everyone folded back around to Kläning who asked how many chips his opponent had and when he was told "around 20" he moved all in. Borau snap-called and the cards were turned onto their backs.

The 
flop gave Kläning a glimmer of hope as he picked up a gutshot straight and the on the river increased his chances of winning from tiny to just extremely slim! The 
on the river was not what he needed and Borau doubles up to close to 50,000 chips.
