Bjorkman Rivers Wilkie To Double

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Just before the break, a hand ensued on Table 3 where action saw a single-raised pot go multiple ways to a flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. A player in early position bet 1,600 and received a call from Chad Bjorkman in the hijack. Steve WIlkie then raised to 10,000 in the cutoff and received a call only from Bjorkman.

The turn came {4-Hearts} and Bjorkman checked. Wilkie announced he was all in for Bjorkman's remaining stack of around 10,000 more, and Bjorkman called.

Chad Bjorkman: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Steve Wilkie: {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Bjorkman's tens were left with seven outs to improve and double, and one of those seven came on the river {j-Clubs}.

"YES!" yelled Bjorkman after completing the straight, standing up with a violent fist pump that sent his chair flying onto its back behind him. The pot was then sent his way and he collected his chips.
