Roy Rallys Up a Double

Harald Olsen raised to 60,000 from middle position, Terrance Eischens called on the button, and Sebastien Roy re-raised to 225,000. Olsen folded and Eischens decided to move all in. Roy called putting his tournament life at risk.

Eischens: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Roy: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Roy's kings were in the lead until the flop came {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} giving Eischen's a set of jacks. Roy's hope wasn't lost though as he had picked up a flush draw and indeed the turn brought the {3-Clubs} giving him a king-high flush. The river was the inconsequential {2-Spades} and Roy secured his double up.
