Russo Doubles Up

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Frank Russo opened to 1,100 on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and was raised to 5,000 by Lewis Spencer. Russo made the call and the two went to the turn {10-Spades}.

Russo checked to Spencer, who continued for 3,200 but then Russo jammed it in for his remaining 15,000.

Spencer then made the call and the cards were on their backs, with Russo at risk.

Frank Russo: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}
Lewis Spencer: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

"Come on don't do it to me," Russo said, as he needed to fade a club to hold with his straight.

The dealer did not disappoint him as it came the {k-Hearts} to give him the successful double-up.
