Frutchey Doubles Through Gao
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player opened to 31,000 from early position and was called by Shouyi Gao in middle position. Action then folded around to David Frutchey on the button who moved all in for 166,000. The original raiser got out of the way while Gao, after some thought, flicked in calling chips to put Frutchey at risk.
David Frutchey: 
Shouyi Gao: 
Frutchey was ahead but Gao did have two live cards. The 
flop immediately vaulted Gao into the lead but the 
turn quickly pushed Frutchey back ahead. The 
river completed the board to give Frutchey a double very close to the money bubble.
