Saechao Doubles Through Pulford

Ray Pulford had been on a tear, winning five of six pots to put him over 800,000, but he just lost most of that back after doubling Chiab Saechao up. Saechao open shoved for 172,000 from the button, and Pulford made the call out of the small blind. Patricia Baker folded in the big blind, and Pulford and Saechao were off to the races.

Pulford: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Saechao: {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Saechao would need to hit one of his overs to secure the double up, and he was able to do that with the queen in the window on the flop, which came {q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Pulford called out for a four, and sure enough, the dealer put the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. However, he wasn't able to work that kind of magic on the river, as it came the {8-Diamonds}. Saechao doubled up to 360,000, while Pulford drops back down to under 700,000
