Neurauter Doubles Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 1,500 and action folded to Hannes Neurauter in the hijack. Neurauter thee-bet to 3,800 and everyone else folded back to the initial raiser, who called.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, the under-the-gun player put a whole stack in containing his biggest valued chips which effectively put Neurauter all-in. Neurauter snap-called.

Hannes Neurauter: {K-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Under-the-gun player: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Neurauter needed to avoid any ace, six or four to stay alive in the tournament. The turn and the river brought them the {q-Spades} and the {3-Clubs} so nothing there to hurt Neurauter. After the dealer counted his chips, she confirmed it was 7,875 in total. Naurauter's opponent counted out the chips and the dealer sent them Neurauter's way.
