Fritz Doubles in Unusual Circumstances

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Manuel Fritz
Manuel Fritz

Manuel Fritz's stack of around 170,000 found its way into the middle from the cutoff, with Mikalai Vaskaboinikau being the one trying to erase him from the tournament out of the hijack.

Manuel Fritz: 7x7x All in
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 5x5x

Fritz had the bigger pair, and Vaskaboinikau needed a five to send him to the showers.

The A♥Q♥Q♦ flop kept the two sevens ahead, but the A♣ on the turn meant two pair was on board, with Fritz's seven playing.

Vaskaboinikau had plenty of outs to a chop, but the 4♠ wasn't one of them, and Fritz doubled with two pair, aces and queens with a seven kicker.
