Strobel Doubles With Kings
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Adrian Strobel raised the button and ended up getting his stack of 1,690,000 in against Gregoire Auzoux, who was in the big blind.
Adrian Strobel: K♠K♣ 
Gregoire Auzoux: A♥9♣
Strobel had the goods, but did need to dodge the aces of his opponent. The flop of 3♥7♥10♦ kept the cowboys in the lead, but Auzoux found a lot more outs on the 8♥ turn with an open-ended straight draw. The 4♣ river bricked off, though, and Strobel raked in the pot.
