Loeser Doubles Through Imsirovic

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Manig Loeser opened with a raise to 6,500 and was called by one player before Ali Imsirovic moved all in from the small blind with a covering stack on all other players left to act. Action folded back to Loeser who thought for a bit before committing his stack of 71,500 and the other player in the hand folded so it was heads-up with Loeser at risk.

Manig Loeser: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Ali Imsirovic: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Loeser paired his ace, allowing him to double up while Imsirovic was cut down a bit.
