Van Blarcum Doubles

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aaron Van Blarcum
Aaron Van Blarcum

Action was picked up between Aaron Van Blarcum in the small blind and an opponent in the big blind, with 16,500 in the center.

The flop read {q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Van Blarcum bet 11,000 which his opponent responded too by moving all-in for 26,000 effective, which Van Blarcum called.

Aaron Van Blarcum: {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The turn {7-Diamonds} gave his opponent additional outs with the open ended straight draw, but the river {4-Spades} was a brick and Van Blarcum faded all outs to double with second pair.

At another table, Michael Wang was eliminated and left the tournament area.
