Droege Double Delighted

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Vladimir Serdcev opened for 1,2000, Max Droege called and big stack bully Avci raised, of course, to 3,500. Serdcev folded but Droege elected to call and they saw a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. All of the money went in on the flop and Droege could hardly contain his delight when Avci showed {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} against his {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flopped straight. The turn brought a bit of a sweat when the {a-Hearts} gave Avci outs to a full house, but it was not to be as the final card came the {2-Clubs}.

Droege was jubilant. He’d grinded it out all day, been there since the first card was dealt, and had to cope with a pretty tough table that was getting progressively tougher. Now he had just doubled up to 110,000. Just reward?
