Spulber Doubles Through O'Connor

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Iosif Spulber
Iosif Spulber

Alban Beysson opened to 2,100 in early position and Jamie O'Connor three-bet to 6,300 on the button. PokerStars Ambassador David Kaye then four-bet to 15,500 from the small blind and Beysson and O`Connor both folded.

The very next hand, Beysson again opened to 2,100 and O'Connor again three-bet to 6,300. It was deja vu as Iosif Spulber then four-bet jammed a stack of 45,000 from the big blind. Beysson got out of the way and O'Connor tanked for over a minute before calling with a bigger stack.

Iosif Spulber: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Jamie O'Connor: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

"Wow!" reacted Alexandra Botez.

"Slow roll!" Spulber joked about O'Connor's tank.

The flop came {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Hearts} to give Spulber the lead and he held for a double after the {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} runout.
