Gelman Doubles Through Von Schnehen

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

From middle position, David Von Schnehen raised to 400,000 with the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Gary Gelman woke up with the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} on the button and jammed all in for 2,700,000 which Von Schnehen called.

Gelman was in a great spot to double up as the flop came {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} with Gelman having clubs covered. The turn was the {a-Spades} to open up a chop possibility with a wheel on the board but the river denied that chance as the {k-Clubs} came off to give Gelman the better flush and the double.
