Double Up for Kaverman

Byron Kaverman was down to 20,000 chips in the 600/1,200-level but just found his much needed double up.

Tom Marchese pushed all-in with {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Kaverman didn't waste much time before calling with {A-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Marchese did flop a king, but Kaverman hit trips on the {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}-board. The {10-Spades} on the turn and {8-Diamonds}-river weren't of any danger for Kaverman, who doubled to 41,000 chips.

In the next couple of hands he won several sizeable pots and has now taken the chip lead.
