McCorkell Doubles Through Purice
Level 15

Craig McCorkell raised to 6,500 from early position and cleared the field all the way to Tudor Purice, who defended from the big blind. Purice then checked the ![]()

flop, McCorkell bet 6,000, and Purice check-raised all in. McCorkell snap-called off for 45,600 and the cards were turned up.
Purice: ![]()

McCorkell: ![]()

McCorkell was ahead with a pair of aces, but it was a flip as Purice had middle pair with a flush draw. Fortunately for McCorkell, neither the
turn nor
river helped Purice and he doubled on the hand.
