Beavers Doubles Through Doney

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bill Beavers
Bill Beavers

Joel Doney raised to 19,000 from the late position and Bill Beavers shoved from the small blind. Doney asked for a count and when the dealer confirmed Beavers had 86,000 behind, Doney called.

Bill Beavers: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Joel Doney: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for Doney to hit two pair immediately but a jack or queen could still save Beavers.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} for Beavers to hit a set.

The river completed the board with the {4-Spades} for Beavers to secure the double-up.

"Nice hand," Beavers said and wanted to get up from his chair until his fellow tablemates made it clear that he had won the hand.
