Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Roger Foley opened to 4,000 from the hijack before Demond Adams shoved for his final 16,000 from the small blind. Foley called and put Adams at risk.

Demond Adams: A♠K♣All in
Roger Foley: 6♣6♦

Adams had the best drawing hand in the game and needed to improve, or he would fall to Foley.

The 8♥ turn kept Adams in front, and the K♦ river improved him to an unnecessary two pair to secure the double up.
