Frenzel Doubles with Big Pair
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
After an open to 4,100 from the cutoff, Brian Frenzel moved all in from the big blind for 23,500. Joshua Newbrand, who had limped in, announced a call while the original raiser decided to fold. The cards were then on their backs with Frenzel at risk of elimination.
Brian Frenzel: 5♠5♦
Joshua Newbrand: A♣10♥
Frenzel was ahead going into this matchup, and the board ran out J♥9♣4♦6♥ with the 5♥ on the river to give him a set of fives to secure his victory for the double-up.
"I'm assuming you had me preflop but I got there on the river?" Frenzel asked the original raiser who had folded.
"Yes... and yes," he responded and the table erupted with laughter as Frenzel stacked his new chips.
