Al-Keliddar Smacks the Flop to Double; Hudson Finds an Ace

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

Yaser Al-Keliddar moved all in for 25,000 from early position and George Karmires called in the hijack.

Yaser Al-Keliddar: A♠J♠ All in
George Karmires: A♣Q♣

Al-Keliddar was dominated and at risk until the flop brought 4♦J♣J♦ to give him trips. The rest of the board ran out 2♣4♠, and Al-Keliddar doubled up.

At the same time at another table, Derek Hudson had shoved for 31,000 from middle position and the small blind called.

Derek Hudson: A♦10♦ All in
Opponent: K♥K♣

Hudson had run right into kings, but the A♠10♥6♦ flop gave him two pair and the lead. The rest of the board came 9♠8♦, and Hudson doubled up.
