McCorkell Doubles Through Purice

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

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 {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts} 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: {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
McCorkell: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

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 {3-Clubs} turn nor {4-Diamonds} river helped Purice and he doubled on the hand.
