Drolet Doubles One Up

Under the gun, Alex Brenes opens with a raise to 16,000. Next to him, Gylbert Drolet makes the call, and the betting passes around to Ferrero Fulvio in the cutoff seat. He moves all in for 98,000, enough to get Brenes out of the way.

Drolet, though, is not so quick. He sits pensively for several moments before saying, "I think you have ace-king...You moved in so fast...Yes, you have ace-king. I call."

He is wrong. Fulvio tables {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and sees that he has Drolet's {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} well dominated. The dealer runs the board {6-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}, and Fulvio catches a double-up courtesy of big stack Gylbert Drolet.
