Erkmen Rides His Cowboys to a Double
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ufuk Erkmen raised to 300,000 on the button with just 55,000 behind. Andrei Daniliuk jammed from the small blind with a big stack, and once the big blind folded, Erkmen called the remainder of his stack.
Ufuk Erkmen: K♠K♦ 
Andrei Daniliuk: A♦Q♣
Erkmen was in the perfect spot to double up if he could dodge an ace on the runout.
Daniliuk paired his queen on the Q♥4♦7♣ flop to give him a few extra outs. The 9♦ turn was safe for Erkmen's cowboys and so was the 9♣ river, meaning he doubled up.
