Somerville Doubles

[user80015]

Catching the action on the river with the board reading {10-Diamonds}

, Jason Somerville found himself up against two opponents.

One moved all in, another called for his tournament life, and with the action now on Somerville he was face with a decision for all his chips.

Somerville called, and was up against {Q-Spades}

for a flopped straight and {J-Diamonds}

for a flopped flush.

However Somerville would be able to breath a sigh of relief when he tabled his {Q-Diamonds}

for the nut flush and the pot as he climbed to over 112,000 in chips.
