Roland de Wolfe Doubles Up

Roland de Wolfe
Roland de Wolfe
We caught up to this hand just before the flop. Roland de Wolfe was on the button and the last of his chips were in the pot against a single late-position opponent. The players showed:

de Wolfe: {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

The flop was dry for both, coming {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Much to de Wolfe's delight, the turn came the {Q-Diamonds}, giving him the lead in the hand. The river was a harmless {8-Diamonds} and Roland dragged the pot. He now sits on a stack of approximately 6,000.
