Fohrenbach Finds Double

Ricky Fohrenbach has just found a huge double through chip leader James Mackey.

With all the money going in preflop, Fohrenbach's last 125,000 was in ahead with his {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} against Mackey's {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

The {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop gave Fohrenbach a great lead in the hand, but even through a {A-Hearts} sweat on the turn, the {3-Spades} on the river would keep him alive and over 250,000 in chips as Mackey slips back to sit just outside the top ten chip counts.
