Torrecillas Doubles Through McCorkell
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Craig McCorkell limped from the cutoff and the player on the button got out of the way. Small blind Francisco Torrecillas put his last 62,000 in the middle and the player in the big blind tanked for a bit before he let go of his hand. McCorkell quickly called and they turned their hands on their backs.
McCorkell had 
and he was flipping against the 
of Torrecillas. The Brit asked the player in the big blind if he folded an ace and the answer was no.
The 
flop was still good for McCorkell and so was the 
on the turn. The 
on the river, however, awarded the pot to Torrecillas who secured a much needed double up. McCorkell is now left with about ten big blinds.
