Andrew's Aces Give Him A Double Up

We reported earlier that Howard "Tahoe" Andrew was given a shout out for playing in the most consecutive WSOP's, and he is not looking to leave this event anytime soon. We just caught a double up with Andrew where he was called all in preflop, and was in a dominating position against his opponent, Marco Bianquin.

Andrew: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Bianquin: {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The flop brought Andrew a bit of a scare, coming {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. The turn, the {k-Spades}, kept Andrew in the lead, and the river brought the {q-Diamonds}. Andrew registered the double up, getting him back to 32,000.
