In a four-way limped pot, no bets were made on the flop and Andrew Robl fired 16,000 on the {J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} turn. Wai Kin Yong raised to 80,000, prompting folds from Tom Dwan and Vivek Rajkumar. Robl paused for almost 30 seconds and then called.

Dramatic Double for Phua

Level 8 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

Andrew Robl made it 60,000 under the gun and Paul Phua jammed for 365,000 in the hijack. Robl paused for a moment and then slammed the calling chips on the felt.

Phua: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Robl: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}. "Kiiiing. Kiiiing," Robl hoped.

He didn't get one but he was still happy with the {A-Spades} turn. Phua now trailed and it was his time to call for a card.

"Queeeen, queeeen," he shouted, laughing.

And the river was the {Q-Spades}, giving him a straight and the double.

"Queen!" he celebrated when he saw the river. "Noooo," Robl reacted.
