Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With three players seeing a board of 10♦6♥6♣ and around 15,000 in the middle a player in the small blind checked and David Williams shoved for his remaining stack of 13,000 from the big blind. A player in the cutoff got out of the way before the small blind called with a covering stack to put Williams at risk.

David Williams: K♦9♥8♣7♥ All in
Opponent: J♥J♣8♠3♠

Williams had a wrap and was up against two pair. The A♥ turn was a brick but the straight came in on the 7♦ river and Williams doubled up.
