Eklind Fades Combo Draw for Double-Up
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Johan Eklind had raised from middle position and called the subsequent three-bet to 6,000 Mattia Cimorelli had put in from the small blind.
Cimorelli then checked to Eklind on the 8♠9♠J♦ flop, seeing the Swede bet 2,800. Cimorelli tanked for a while before sending a tower of chips to the middle, putting Eklind all-in.
Eklind quickly called off his stack of 31,500, tabling the cards.
Johan Eklind: 8♥8♣ 
Mattia Cimorelli: A♠7♠
Cimorelli's draws did not come in on the 2♣ turn or K♥ river. Eklind's set won him a big double-up, overtaking Cimorelli in the counts.
