Richard Fohrenbach Doubles Up

A middle-position player raised to 1,800 and action folded to Richard Fohrenbach on the button. Fohrenbach reraised to 5,500 and the initial raiser made the call.

The flop came {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and both players checked. The {9-Hearts} on the turn had the middle-position player betting and Fohrenbach raising all in. His opponent called and the players showed:

Fohrenbach: {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}

The river fell the {J-Clubs} and Fohrenbach doubled to just over 47,000.
