Burkholder Finds a Double

Level 18

Limit Hold'em

John Hennigan was under the gun, and with the blinds at 15,000/30,000, he put out 40,000. This was ruled a call, and the action folded to Burkholder, who raised in the big blind. Hennigan made it three bets, Burkholder went all in for 91,000, and Hennigan called.

Hennigan: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}
Burkholder: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Burkholder was in great shape do double, and let out a little whoop when the {q-Hearts} peaked through the window of the flop. His look of delight changed to one of concern when it was followed by the {5-Clubs} and the {4-Diamonds}, however, and Hennigan had found a wheel draw.

Unfortunately for Hennigan - and the short stacks in the room looking to burst the bubble and secure themselves a six-figure score - the turn and river bricked {9-Diamonds}, {k-Spades}, and Burkholder doubled to 197,000 chips.
