Wilson Doubles a Short Stack; Higgins Above Average Stack
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Simon Wilson had opened from the cutoff and called when big blind Wanja Postel committed his final 37,000 in the big blind.
Wanja Postel: A♦K♣ 
Simon Wilson: Q♠9♥
Both players paired on the A♠10♣9♣ flop, but Postel made a straight on the J♥Q♣ river to take the pot and double up.
Over at another table, Alexandru Lupuleac made it 11,000 to go in the cutoff. Anthony Higgins then three-bet to 50,000 in the small blind to quickly call off when Lupuleac put him all-in for 111,000.
Anthony Higgins: A♦K♥
Alexandru Lupuleac: A♥Q♣
Neither player received help from the 8♦9♦5♥3♠8♣ board, meaning Higgins doubled up.
