Eelkema Finds a Lucky River To Double
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
A player in early position opened to 1,500 and was called by the hijack to put action onto Eric Eelkema, who was in the cutoff. Eelkema went all in for 11,200 and the original opener called, prompting a quick fold from the player trapped in between.

"See, you're running good and you don't even know it," said a player at the table to Eelkema. The turn dropped 
immediately afterwards, giving his opponent a pair of queens and putting him at risk of being eliminated.
"It's temporary," the player reassured. He was correct as the river fell 
to improve Eelkema to a set of tens and secure the double in the process.
