Double Up for Anthony "supremetny" Chin

Blinds: 3,500/7,000

Following an early position raise, and a call from "Dirty_Harry6", Anthony "supremetny" Chin moved all in for 70,000 and change. The original raiser folded, but "Dirty_Harry6" called with {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} to put Chin at risk, who was holding {a-Spades}{3-Spades}.

The board ran down {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, and Chin made an unnecessary two pair on the river to secure a nice double up.
