Wazwaz Doubles Through Keeline

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ben Keeline opened the action with a raise to 4,000 in the hijack and saw Rob Wazwaz three-bet jam for 29,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Keeline and he called.

Rob Wazwaz: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Ben Keeline: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Wazwaz needed to improve to stay alive. He found no major help on the flop {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} but the turn {k-Clubs} changed his fortunes. He faded the two outer as the board paired on the river {j-Hearts} and earned the double as a result. Keeline flipped over his cards and sent them to the muck as the dealer counted out Wazwaz's stack, which Keeline paid before the next hand began.
