O'Neill Doubles Through Onwuka
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nicolas Sievers raised to 6,000 from middle position before Richard O'Neill put in his 32,000-chip stack from the hijack.
Francis Onwuka asked for a count and made the call, after which Sievers got out of the way to create a heads up showdown.
Richard O'Neill: 9♥9♦
Francis Onwuka: 7♦7♣
O'Neill's nines remained best on the J♣2♣10♦ flop, and he upgraded to a set on the 9♣ turn. Onwuka turned a flush draw, however, but it was faded when the 10♠ river saw O'Neill make a full house.
He doubled up, causing Onwuka's descent to keep going.
