Shuffle Up and Double Up

The cards are in the air and Robert Williamson doubles up on the first hand of the day. Williamson opens the pot from the cutoff by announcing all in. Anthony Licastro makes the call from the small blind and the two players are heads up.

Showdown:
Williamson: {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Licastro: {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

"I had nice suited connectors in an unopened pot. I couldn't help it," said Williamson. The board came {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, pairing Williamson's 5 and doubling him to around 23,000. Licastro still has a sizable stack of 78,000 in front of him.

"God I hope I double up again on my second hand," said Williamson. "Would that be greedy?" His opponents nodded. Yes Robert, it would be greedy.
