Greathause Doubles Up Early

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Marc Greathause limped in late position. The player in the small blind raised to 225. Greathause called. The dealer spread a flop of {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades}. The small blind bet 200. Greathause raised to 700. His opponent called.

The turn came the {j-Hearts}. The small blind checked. Greathause bet 1,000, then the small blind check-raised to 2,500. Greathause responded by moving all in for a total of 6,500, and his opponent snap-called.

Marc Greathause: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Greathause was behind but it was not over yet. The {7-Diamonds} river completed the board to give Greathause the better full house, enabling him to take down the pot and double up.
