Elkins Doubles Through Salahudeen
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aquil Salahudeen opened with a raise from early position before Chris Elkins responded with an all-in for 29,000 from the big blind. Salahudeen put in the call to put Elkins at risk.
Chris Elkins: K♠J♠
Aquil Salahudeen: Q♥Q♣
Elkins needed help to crack Salahudeen's pocket queens, and the cavalry came right away as the flop put Elkins in the lead when it came 5♦9♥K♣.
The A♣ turn, and the 8♥ river was of no consequence as Elkins held to secure the double.
