Quenneville Spikes River for a Double
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ben Heath raised to 12,000 from under the gun and Alex Peffly three-bet to 35,000 from middle position. Troy Quenneville four-bet to 188,000 and left just one T-1,000 chip behind before Heath ducked out of the way and Peffly gave it a moment of thought. Peffly called and action was heads-up.
The flop was 
and Quenneville checked. Peffly tossed out 1,000 and Quenneville sighed before he tossed in his last chip. The cards were turned up and Quenneville was at risk.
Troy Quenneville: 
Alex Peffly: 
The turn was a 
with no help, but the river 
was just what Quenneville needed and he secured the double with a pair of aces.
