Stout Doubles Through Dean

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #3: Andrew Dean raised to 50,000 from the button. From the small blind Matt Stout reraised to 135,000. Nikolai Sears folded his big blind. With action back on Dean, he put in a fourth bet to 310,000. Stout decided to put in a fifth bet to 575,000. Dean moved all in and Stout quickly called all in for his last for 1.591 million.

Dean: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Stout: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Spades} keeping stout in the lead. The turn {9-Diamonds} was still safe for Stout and he just needed to dodge a {4-} to stay alive and double up. Stout did dodge when the river fell the {5-Clubs}, allowing him to collect a massive double up from Andrew Dean.

Berkey Doubles Through Dean

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
