Dutch Doubles One Up
We found Dutch Boyd call the all in of a short stacked opponent before the flop. Boyd's opponent was all in for about 2,100 and held 
which was crushing Boyd's 
.
The board fell 
and Boyd was forced to ship a small chunk of chips over to his opponent. He's still sitting on a more than healthy stack, however.

The big blind flung his hand away quickly and Cajelais added to his tower of chips.
