Lucky Double-Up for Bithell
Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Akihiro Konishi made it 30,000 to go from middle position. Eric Tsai flat-called on the button, enticing Oliver Bithell to squeeze in his stack of 344,000 from the small blind.
Konishi folded, but Tsai looked his opponent up, covering him.
Oliver Bithell: K♠10♠
Eric Tsai: K♦Q♠
Bithell had the worst of it, and the 9♥7♦5♣ flop did not help much. The 10♦ turn did, though, giving him a pair to win the pot on the 2♣ river.
