Ellenbroek Dodges the River to Double
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Heads-up to the A♦5♥J♣ flop with about 70,000 already in the pot. Weiran Pu was first to act from the big blind and checked the action over to Thomas Ellenbroek on the button, who bet 15,000. Pu called.
A 2♥ hit the turn, prompting a second check from Pu. Ellenbroek bet 40,000, and after a few moments, Pu check-jammed, covering Ellenbroek. Ellenbroek called for his stack of 101,000 and the cards were shown.
Thomas Ellenbroek: A♠Q♣
Weiran Pu: J♥8♥
Ellenbroek took the lead by pairing his ace on the turn, although Pu had a lot of outs with one card to come.
The dealer burned a card then put out the 2♦ on the river, which was safe for Ellenbroek and he doubled up.
