Kosk Doubles Through Evard

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ermo Kosk has lost chips so far today. He limped in the small blind out of 90,000 and Francois Evard checked the big blind.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Kosk lead for 12,000. Evard raised to 25,000 and it was a snap-all in from Kosk followed by an equally fast call by Evard.

Ermo Kosk: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Francois Evard: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

It was top pair vs an overpair and Evard needed a nine or a king to eliminate Kosk. The {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} turn and river didn't oblige and Kosk gets a much-needed double.
