Neuville Doubles Up, Still Under Starting Stack

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Pierre Neuville
Pierre Neuville

The first levels' play had left Pierre Neuville with around 7,500 chips when he scored a double through from his table chip leader Michael Mischkot. Neuville called Mischkot's preflop raise to 1,200 from the big blind, then led out for 1,000 on the {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop. Mischkot made the call, then bet 4,000 on the {9-Diamonds} turn when it was checked to him. This bet made it impossible to fold to Neuville's shove for 4,700 total, and the hole cards went face-up:

Neuville: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Mischkot: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The river brought the {5-Hearts} and a double for Neuville, a prolific live tournament player and second on Belgium's all-time money list having racked up over $4.6 million in winnings to date.
