Somerville, Two for One

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

From early position, Opponent 1 moved all in for just under 4,000. Jason Somerville made the call from late position. Opponent 2 was in the big blind went all in for less.

Somerville: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Opponent 2: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Clubs} which hit the set of Opponent 2 but gave Somerville a royal flush draw. He could also still catch one of the two remaining Aces while Opponent 1 was drawing to a one-outter for the side pot.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} which made Somerville his flush. He had to avoid the board pairing on the river to scoop and he did just that when the {4-Diamonds} bricked the river. With the win he eliminates two players and chips up to 32,000.
