Ilich Grants a Double

Drazen Ilich and an opponent across the table tangled up in a preflop raising war that left Mr. Opponent all in for 15,850. Ilich tabled his {A-Spades} {K-Spades}, but his opponent's {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} had him poised for a double.

The flop came a scary {2-Spades} {J-Spades} {2-Hearts}, but Ilich could not get over the hump. The {J-Diamonds} turn and {6-Clubs} river were blanks, and he's been parted with a chunk of his stack. "How did I not get there?" he asked with a smirk as he paid off his debts. He's down to about 50,000 now, and that's still up significantly from our last check on him before the last break.
