Vaillancourt Doubles

After two players limped, it folded around to Noah Vaillancourt in the big blind who moved all in for his last 16,700. The first player pondered for about thirty seconds before dropping in enough chips to call. The next limper got out of the way and the hands were turned over:

Vaillancourt: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Vaillancourt was out in front and managed to improve his lead on the {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. It wouldn't be poker without a sweat, though, and the {9-Hearts} fell on fourth street to give his opponent outs to make a heart flush.

The {4-Clubs} hit the river, however, and Vaillancourt was able to double up to about 36,000.
